Assumptions : I. People do not ask about your tailor if your shirt is not good . II. People want to know the criteria of an excellent shirt.

Accepted Answer

A. Assumption I is implicit because asking about the tailor is taken as a sign/proof that the shirt is excellent, implying people wouldn't ask if it weren't good. Assumption II is not implicit as the statement mentions asking about the tailor, not asking about criteria for an excellent shirt. Hence, Option A is correct.
