Clearly, damage to crops due to high temperature may have resulted in a short supply of vegetables and hence an increase in their prices.
This option is incorrect.Statement II describes a significant increase in temperature, which would logically lead to crops being damaged.
* Statement I describes an increase in vegetable prices. This is a likely consequence of crop damage, as a reduced supply would drive prices up.
Clearly, damage to crops due to high temperature may have resulted in a short supply of vegetables and hence an increase in their prices.
This option is incorrect. Options 3 and 4 suggest the statements are independent or effects of independent causes, but the statements are clearly related. The increased temperature (Statement II) has a direct impact on crop production, leading to higher prices (Statement I).
