- 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. Both statements I and II are the effects of an independent cause.
Explanation
In logical reasoning, understanding cause and effect involves recognizing the sequence of events where one event directly leads to another. Here, the death of Amna's baby at birth (Statement I) is the catalyst for her grief and subsequent actions. Her intense desire for another child, driven by this grief, results in her decision to abduct an infant from the hospital (Statement II). Hence, Statement I is the cause, and Statement II is the effect. The other options are incorrect because they either reverse the cause-effect relationship or incorrectly assume independence between the statements.

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.
