Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Correct answer: Both statements are effects of independent causes.
Explanation:
Statement I reports that tea export value rose because of increased demand for quality tea in the European market; this is an outcome attributed to a specific cause.
Statement II reports increased domestic demand for coffee over the last two years; this is a separate outcome about a different commodity and market.
Because the two statements concern different commodities and markets and there is no information linking one outcome to the other, they should be treated as effects of independent causes.
