Instruction: Identify which of the given assumptions are implicit in the statement, then choose the appropriate option. Assumptions: I. Consumer behavior is shifting towards sustainable transportation options. II. The current supply chain for EV components cannot immediately handle exponential demand growth. III. Increased mining operations will not face significant environmental opposition.
