(e) Both Statements I and II are effects of some common causes.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. Statement II describes violent activities that occurred after a dharna by the Maratha community.

2. Statement I mentions the police response — arrests and imposition of Section 144 — which is a preventive measure typically taken after disturbances or threats to public order.

3. Since the violent activities (Statement II) happened first, they logically caused the police to take action (Statement I).

4. Therefore, Statement II is the cause, and Statement I is the effect.
