II. There is the little room for free and open inquiry

III. There is lessening room for free and open inquiry

A) Only I B) Only II
C) Only III D) Both I and III
 
Answer & Explanation Answer:

Explanation:
'Little' carries a negative connotation and means hardly any or negligible. 'A little' carries a positive connotation and means 'some'.

Thus, there would be no option for free and open inquiry.
