Solution
Statement: "A good system of education in a country is the flower of economic development; it is also its seed."
Assumption I: Economic development leads to educational development in a country.
This assumption is implicit because the statement suggests that education is a result (flower) of economic development.
Assumption II: Educational development leads to economic development in a country.
This assumption is also implicit because the statement refers to education as the seed of economic development, indicating that education can foster or initiate economic growth.
The correct option is (A): Both I and II are implicit
