Dependent cause/ Independent causes: I. The construction of dams has created an obstruction in the migration of animals. II. The animals of Amazon have turned into ferocious beasts, that are damaging the property as well as a threat to the lives of people.
Correct answer: D. None of these options are correct
- A. Statement I is the cause and statement II is its effect
- B. Statement II is the cause and statement I is its effect
- C. Both statements I and II are independent causes
- D. None of these options are correct
Explanation
None of the options are correct and we shall break it down as to why Option D is the correct answer; No clear link between the two statements can be established. 'Statement 1' mentions the adverse effects of the construction of dams, whereas 'Statement 2' is a temporal fact, stating that animals are acting unnaturally ferocious. Since the statements are unrelated, as a consequence, they can't be deemed as either effect or cause to one another.

About Cause and Effect
Cause and effect questions examine whether one event produces another, whether both arise from a common factor, or whether their connection is only coincidental. They involve identifying preceding and resulting events, separating correlation from causation, and judging whether the stated evidence supports a direct, possible or unlikely relationship.
