II. The animals of Amazon have turned into ferocious beasts, that are damaging the property as well as a threat to the lives of people.

- B
Statement II is the cause and statement I is its effect
- C
Both statements I and II are independent causes
- D
None of these options are correct
The correct answer is 'None of these options are correct' because there is no causal relationship between the two statements. Statement I refers to the environmental impact of dam construction on animal migration, while Statement II describes a behavioral change in animals without any clear link to dam construction. Therefore, neither statement can be considered to be a cause or effect of the other.
Incorrect. The construction of dams causing obstructions does not explain why animals would become ferocious.
Incorrect. The aggressive behavior of animals does not lead to the construction of dams.
Incorrect. While the statements could be independent, the question does not support this conclusion as per the provided statements.
Correct. There is no causal relationship or independent cause link between the two statements. Statement I discusses the environmental impact of dams, while Statement II describes animal behavior without a direct link to the dams.
