None is implicit
All are implicit
I and III are implicit

Correct Answer: All are implicit

Explanation:

Anybody advises anyone with the assumption that his advice will get proper attention from the one who hears. Without assumption so, giving advice makes no sense. Hence, Assumption I is implicit. Assumption II is implicit of a thing, then he assumes that he knows about it. Assumption III is very much valid, otherwise the statement becomes meaningless.
