Consider the given statement and decide which of the suggested courses of action logically follow(s) for pursuing
Statement
With several demands, including their salary increase, the members of the bus drivers’ association did not join their duty and went on a protest march on the highway, blocking the traffic movement.

Courses of Action:
I. The police should clear the highway as soon as possible, even if it amounts to firing teargas shells to disperse the crowd.
II. The police should calm down the crowd assuring them that they would soon be called to the discussion table with the appropriate managing authority.
III. The administration should make alternative arrangements for passengers' travel and wait for the protest movement to die down in course of time.

Let's take a look at each course of action individually:

(1) Using force to remove the protestors might backfire, as the protestors might get even more support from the public against the authorities. And in case of harm to the protesters, the matter could spiral from simple traffic congestion to a nationwide issue real quick. Hence, this option should be avoided. 

(2) This would be the right course of action, as agreeing to discuss and negotiate with the association would fulfil their goal of getting attention and getting the authorities to agree to their demands, or at least consider them seriously.  

(3) Ignoring the demands of the bus driver's association members would not make them angry and force them to take harsher actions to get the attention they demand. This can spiral out of hand, causing huge damage to property or life, which the authorities would definitely want to avoid at all costs. Hence, this course of action should be avoided.  

Hence, Only (2) is a valid course of action. 

Therefore, Option B is the correct answer.
