d) if neither I nor II is implicit.

e) if both I and II are implicit.

b) if only assumption II is implicit.

c) if either I or II is implicit.

Feeling uneasy is not a sign of addiction in itself. Feeling uneasy after avoiding Gutkha is a sign of addiction. [Read I carefully. If you have the book Magical Book: Analytical Reasoning, refer to page it immediately.]

Secondly, a thing that is suspected to be addictive can never be advised to be taken every two hours! Both I and II are not implicit.
