Given statement: Should there be a ban on product advertising?

Given Argument:

1. Yes, it is wastage of money. → Weak

It presents one-sided view without considering the broader role of advertising in business, competition and consumer awareness. Not all advertising is a waste, it often leads to higher sales and brand recognition. 

2. No, as it educates the customers about new products, their features, prices and uses. → Strong

It is the advertisement which makes the customers aware of the qualities of the product and leads them to buy it. 

Thus, (B) If only argument 2 is strong.

Hence, "Option 3" is the correct answer.
