      A Statement I is the cause and statement II is its effect Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Statement II is the cause and statement I is its effect Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Both the statements I and II are independent causes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Both the statements I and II are effects of independent causes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The behaviour of private hospitals and government hospitals is based on different, independent factors: Private hospitals increase charges due to market-driven decisions, rising operational costs, or profit motives. Government hospitals offer free consultation because they are publicly funded and follow government policy. These two statements are not causes or effects of each other and do not arise from a common cause. Thus, both are independent causes → Option C.
