Explanation
The correct answer is that statement II is the cause and statement I is its effect. The government's decision to remove subsidies on some items to reform the economy (Statement II) caused protestors to oppose this decision (Statement I). Option A is incorrect because statement I is an effect, not an independent cause. Option B is incorrect because statement II is a cause, not an effect. Option D reverses the actual cause and effect sequence, making it incorrect as well.

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.
