Cause–Effect reasoning: Identify the relationship between Statement I and Statement II. S1: Employees of the biggest bank in the country have given an indefinite strike call starting from the third of next month. S2: Employees of the Central Government have withdrawn their week-long demonstrations. Choose the correct cause–effect option.

Given data

• S1: Bank employees plan an indefinite strike starting a future date.
• S2: Central Government employees have ended their week-long demonstrations.

Concept / Approach Different groups, different timelines and actions; there is no stated linkage. Each action likely responds to its own negotiations/contexts.

Step-by-step check of options A/B: Neither action plausibly causes the other across sectors and opposite directions (starting vs withdrawing). ✖ C: They are not presented as causes; they are outcomes/decisions. ✖ D: Each is an effect of its own independent cause (sector-specific labor context). ✔ E: No common cause is indicated. ✖

Final Answer Both statements I and II are effects of independent causes.
