For each question, select the best answer of the choices given and explain why the chosen answer is the right fit. Statement: In 2017, India passed the Maternity (Amendment) Bill that increased the right to paid maternity leave for working women from 12 weeks to 26 weeks—the third highest in the world.

I: Maternity leaves help new mothers bond with their children longer. II: Maternity leaves can be a burden for the small/medium scaled companies which have a large proportion of female employees.
