Biggest bank in the country is central bank only i.e. RBI. Both entities are same.

The reason for employees going on strike is not given anywhere. Also the reason for calling off strike is not given anywhere. So the cause (reason) for both the statements is different and could be any, therefore D.

The 1st statement is on bank employees strike.
The 2nd statement is on central govt employees.
Two different entities. So, the answer should be C. Please clarify.

I think the every answer could be correct.
II could conceivably cause I and I could cause II; each could be the cause of some other effect, and both could be the effect of a common cause.
The question needs a lot more context if it is to be answerable.
