@All
The given answer is correction (Option C). This is a critical question, need deep thinking.
Because, all withdrawals of such savings are to be taxed. So, people will NOT be interested in investing "small savings for investments and benefit accruals" in order to get tax benefit (because here no option to get tax benefit finally).
But, here the statement II states that people are investing in small savings in order to get tax benefit.
So II definitely independent from the I.
Suppose, if the II is like "People are not interested in small savings...", then it is Option A.
Hope my tips may help you a bit. Have a nice day!

Clearly if govt offers tax incentive to savers, i.e. a lower rate of tax on income invested/saved, then more people would save their income - this is called superannuation. Lower rate of tax outweighing possible interest earned in alternative investments.
Answer A.
Answer A.

No, Answer Could Not Be 'C' Because There Is No Statement Which Has No Cause
Like,
The People Are Involved In The Small Savings There May Be Some Reason Behind The Same Too,
So Be Can't Call It Independent Cause
According to me answer option is : 'A'.
