Answer
(II) is the reason for (I)
Explanation — Statement (I) is true because the Cabinet Mission rejected the Muslim League’s demand for a separate Pakistan.
Statement (II) is also true. The Muslim League accepted the Cabinet Mission Plan because it believed that the grouping of Muslim-majority provinces practically gave it the basis of Pakistan.
Thus, the Cabinet Mission could reject the demand for a separate Pakistan because its plan already provided for the grouping of Muslim-majority provinces, which the Muslim League saw as a step towards Pakistan.
Therefore, Statement (II) is the reason for (I).
