Several smartphone manufacturers in Asia have begun stockpiling rare earth metals used in battery production and high-performance chips. II. A major geopolitical standoff between two leading rare earth exporting countries has raised concerns about potential export restrictions on key raw materials. What is the correct relationship between the two statements?Solution
Statement II discusses a geopolitical standoff between two countries that are major exporters of rare earth materials. Due to concerns about potential export restrictions stemming from this conflict, smartphone manufacturers have begun stockpiling those critical materials (Statement I). Thus, the fear of supply chain disruption caused by the standoff (Statement II) has led to the precautionary behaviour of stockpiling by manufacturers (Statement I). So, Statement II is the cause, and Statement I is its effect.
