With reference to the above table, the following assumptions have been made:

  1. Nowdays, prosperity of an already high performing State cannot be sustained without making further large investments in its telecom infrastructure.
  2. Nowadays, a very high Tele-density is the most essential condition for promoting the business and economic growth in a State.

Which of the above assumptions is/are valid?

Select an option to attempt

Explanation

Statement 1 falsely implies that achieving higher GDP growth depends entirely on substantial investments in the telecom sector, rendering it invalid.

Similarly, statement 2 reflects the same flawed assumption as statement 1, making it incorrect as well. Hence, the correct answer is option D.
