    D Both the statements I and II are effects of independent causes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Both the statements I and II are effects of some common cause Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Statement II mentions that the municipal corporation increased the frequency of buses. Increased frequency usually makes public transport more convenient and reliable, encouraging more people to use it. Therefore, the rise in the number of bus users (Statement I) can logically be understood as a result of the increased frequency (Statement II). Hence, Statement II is the cause and Statement I is its effect.
