- B. B. If statement II is the cause and statement I is its effect;
- C. C. If both the statements I and II are independent causes;
- D. D. If both the statements I and II are effects of independent causes;
- E. E. If both the statements I and II are effects of some common cause;
Explanation
The correct answer is Option A. Statement I, which mentions the government's import of large quantities of sugar, is the cause leading to Statement II, the effect, where the prices of sugar in the domestic market have fallen sharply. This is because an increase in the supply of sugar due to imports would naturally lead to a decrease in its prices as per the supply-demand principle.Option B is incorrect because a fall in prices is not likely to cause the government to import sugar; typically, imports are based on agreements or supply needs. Option C is incorrect as the two statements are not independent; they are related through cause and effect. Option D is incorrect because the statements are not effects of independent causes; they are linked. Option E is incorrect, as the statements are directly related rather than resulting from a shared cause.
