Correct Answer: Both I and II are effects of independent causes


Solution : Given:
I. Country X reduced their crude oil import by 6% in the last 5 years.
II. The automobile industry in Country X has witnessed a sharp decline of 13% in its growth margin this year.

Statement I and Statement II don't depend on each other as crude oil prices and the automobile industry don't relate to each other because crude oil is not used in automobiles.

So, both I and II are effects of independent causes. Hence, the first option is correct.
