Statement II is the cause because the majority of parents were concerned about the open environment in colleges, leading them to sign a joint petition. This action likely prompted the university to take steps to address these concerns by banning smoking on campus, as indicated in Statement I. Therefore, Statement II led to the effect described in Statement I.Option A is incorrect because the university's decision did not cause the parents' petition; rather, it was a response to it. Option C is incorrect because the statements are related rather than independent. Option D is incorrect as the statements are not independent effects. Option E is incorrect as there is a direct cause-and-effect relationship between the statements, not a common cause.

About Alcohols and Phenols
Alcohols are classified as primary, secondary or tertiary and studied through their hydrogen bonding, acidity, oxidation and reactions with active metals, acids and halogenating agents. Phenols require separate treatment because the hydroxyl group is attached to an aromatic ring, making their acidity and electrophilic substitution different from ordinary alcohols.
