Statement :
For most of the appointments, initial one or two years are treated as probation and the service is confirmed only after the probation period.
Assumption I :
The employer does not know much about the recruitee.
Assumption II :
The employer wants to extract more work during the probation.

The correct answer is (A) Assumption I is strong.

Under Rule 8 of the Madhya Pradesh Civil Services (General Conditions of Service) Rules, 1961, a probation period is mandated because the government requires active observation to assess a recruit's actual capability and character, validating Assumption I. Conversely, Assumption II is incorrect because the statutory purpose of probation is performance evaluation, not labor exploitation, thereby making options B, C, and D invalid.
