Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
1. Analyze the Statement: It explicitly links agricultural irrigation to monsoon rains. 2. Evaluate Conclusion I: While dependence on rain often implies poor infrastructure, the statement doesn't state this as a fact. It's an assumption. 3. Evaluate Conclusion II: Since irrigation depends on the monsoon, a weak monsoon directly means less water for crops, logically reducing output. This is a direct consequence. 4. Therefore, only Conclusion II strictly follows.
