Statement I: Rural and semi-urban areas in the country have been suffering due to load shedding for quite some time.Statement II: If the government is not able to overcome the power crisis, load-shedding will be extended even to the urban areas.
Correct answer: D. Both statements I and II are effects of some common causes
- 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 effects of some common causes
Explanation
d) Both statements I and II are effects of some common cause:This option suggests that both statements are consequences or effects of a shared or common underlying cause. In this context, the common cause could be the power crisis itself, leading to load shedding in both rural and semi-urban areas (Statement I) and the potential extension of load shedding to urban areas (Statement II). The power crisis may be the root issue responsible for the situations described in both statements.

About Evolution
Evolution describes heritable change in populations over generations through variation, natural selection and adaptation. Lamarckism explains inheritance of acquired characteristics, while Darwinism explains selection of favourable inherited variations; these historical explanations must not be confused with the modern genetic account of evolutionary change.
