Concept:The main issue is the poor performance of freshers, so the course of action must ensure better recruitment quality.
Explanation:Statement I suggests requiring two years of experience from other software companies, but experience does not guarantee good performance, so this is not a suitable step.
Statement II suggests being strict while hiring freshers so only the best are recruited.
This directly addresses the issue of underperformance and can improve the company's market performance.
Statement III suggests not hiring freshers from country H at all, but blaming an entire country is unfair and unrelated to the actual problem.
Statement IV suggests paying freshers less, which would demotivate them further and does not improve performance.
Therefore, only Statement II is a valid course of action.
Answer:Option A – Only II.
