Answer

(II) is the reason for (I)

Explanation — Statement (I) is true. The British government imposed heavy land revenue and other taxes on farmers. This placed a great financial burden on them.
Statement (II) is also true. Because the farmers had to pay high revenue, many of them borrowed money from landlords and moneylenders. In this way, they fell into their clutches.
Thus, the exploitation by landlords and moneylenders was closely linked to the heavy tax burden imposed by the British.
Therefore, Statement (II) is the reason for Statement (I).
