Answer

(II) is the reason for (I)

Explanation — Statement (II) tells us that the British realised that the growing unity of Indians was becoming a major threat to their rule in India. Statement (I) tells us the result of this realisation — to weaken this unity, the British started following a policy of granting minor concessions to separatists to divide the people and quell the growth of nationalism. Hence, Statement (II) is the reason for (I).
