  • D. Both the statements I and II are effects of some common cause

Explanation

The reason why parents have withdrawn their wards from attending private tuitions on Sunday is that the students had to attend special classes conducted by the school on Sunday.

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.
