Answer
(II) is the reason for (I)
Explanation — Statement (I) is true because the Muslim League asked Viceroy Wavell to constitute the Interim Government in 1946.
Statement (II) is also true because, when the Interim Government was formed under Jawaharlal Nehru, the Muslim League initially kept itself out of it.
Since the Muslim League refused to join the Interim Government, it asked the Viceroy to form the Government without its participation.
Therefore, Statement (II) is the reason for Statement (I).
