b) if only assumption II is implicit.

c) if either I or II is implicit.

d) if neither I nor II is implicit.

e) if both I and II are implicit.

If we say that it is high time X did something, we assume that X is not doing that at present.

Hence, assumption II is implicit. But I is not implicit. Infrastructure lending is one of the services but whether it is the best we do not know.
