Answer
(II) is the reason for (I)
Explanation — Statement (I) is true because different sections of Indian society gradually understood that their economic well-being was not possible under British rule. British policies had harmed farmers, artisans, workers, and even Indian industries.
Statement (II) is also true. As people from different sections of society began to recognise their common suffering, they came together on one platform to fight against British rule.
Thus, the unity of different sections of society helped them realise that their economic salvation depended on freeing themselves from British domination.
Therefore, Statement (II) is the reason for Statement (I).
