Women in developing countries rarely occupy top management positions in companies.II. Sexual harassment is one of the major barriers that stands in the way of women acquiring management positions.

    C Both I and II are implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Neither I nor II is implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Either I or II is implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The given statement suggests that the top management should show support for women leaders and have a zero tolerance policy towards sexual harassment. This rests on the assumption that sexual harassment is one of the major hurdles faced by women who seek to acquire management positions. II follows. Thus, (b) is the right answer.

    I does not follow as the statement does not talk about developed or developing countries specifically.
