Answer
(II) is the reason for (I)
Explanation — Statement (I) is true because the threat of Socialism and Communism helped create conditions for the growth of Fascism in Italy.

This demand for powerful leadership helped Mussolini and the Fascists gain support in Italy.
Therefore, Statement (II) is the reason for Statement (I).
