Option D seems more appropriate : Both the statements I and II are effects of independent causes
This is because both the statements can be seen as effect of some independent causes.
For eg,
Statement I is effect of more awareness about water-borne diseases
Statement II is effect of casualties of last year, due to some wide spread disease, or something government promised before coming into power.
This is because both the statements can be seen as effect of some independent causes.
For eg,
Statement I is effect of more awareness about water-borne diseases
