The correct answer is Option B: Statement II is the cause and statement I is its effect. The agitation by the parents against high fees put pressure on the government to take action, resulting in the appointment of a committee that reduced the fees. Option A is incorrect because the reduction in fees did not cause the agitation. Options C, D, and E are incorrect because they either view the statements as independent or as effects of a common cause, neither of which accurately reflects the sequence and relationship of the events described.
