Explanation
The question presents a scenario where the interest rates on post office recurring deposit accounts have been increased to attract more deposits. Conclusion I advocates for public awareness of this increase, which is essential for informing potential depositors and encouraging them to invest. Conclusion II suggests that if deposits do not rise in the following six months, the interest rate should be increased further, allowing for a responsive strategy to enhance deposit attraction.Both conclusions are valid because they address different aspects of the same objective: to increase deposits. The first focuses on communication, while the second emphasizes evaluation and adjustment based on initial results. Therefore, the correct answer is that both conclusions follow.Option A is incorrect as it only considers the need for public awareness, ignoring the evaluation aspect. Option B wrongly prioritizes only the evaluation without acknowledging the need for awareness. Option C dismisses both actions, which is inaccurate given their relevance to the situation.
