- 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 independent causes
Explanation
As in Statement 2, Parents protested against high fees charged by unaided institutions so it caused the government to lower the fees of professional courses offered by unaided institutions. Government interferes in a situation due to some reason and protest is almost a knowledgeable reason for the government to lower down fees. So Statement 2 is the cause and Statement 1 is its effect.

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.
