Statements: The 'Official Secrets Act' (OSA) enacted by the ABC government during the war seems to be one of the major source of corruption in the country X. Conclusions: The OSA has to be abolished immediately to put an end to the corruption in the country X. The ABC government had an intention of encouraging corruption in the government offices.

Correct Answer: Only conclusion I follows

Explanation:

The statement declares enactment of OSA as the direct cause of increase in corruption. So, I follows. However, enactment of an act by a government is undertaken for betterment and not with the intention of encouraging corruption though whatever may be the outcome later on. So, II does not follow.
