I. '157' means 'stop bad habit'.

II. '839' means 'smoking is injurious'.

C) If the data either in I or II alone are sufficient to answer the question; D) If the data even in both the statements together are not sufficient to answer the question
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) If the data either in I or II alone are sufficient to answer the question;

Explanation:

'59' means Injurious habit' and '157' means 'stop bad habit' (from I). Thus, the common code number '5' stands for common word 'habit'. So. '9' represents 'injurious'.Hence, I is sufficient.

Also, '59' means Injurious habit' and '839' means 'smoking is injurious'. Thus, the common code number '9' stands for common word 'injurious'. So, '5' represents 'habit'. Thus, II is also sufficient.
