(I) The Congress passed a resolution for the renewal of the Civil Disobedience Movement.

(II) Gandhiji sought a meeting with Viceroy Willingdon which was refused.

1. (II) contradicts (I)
2. (II) is the reason for (I)
3. (I) is true but (II) is false
4. (I) and (II) are independent of each other

(II) is the reason for (I)

Explanation — Here, both the Statements are true and clearly reflect cause-effect relationship, i.e., the Civil Disobedience Movement had been suspended after the Gandhi-Irwin Pact of 1931, where Gandhi agreed to call off the movement in exchange for certain concessions from the British. After returning from the Round Table Conference in London (which failed), Gandhi tried to meet Viceroy Willingdon to discuss the situation and resolve issues peacefully, as mentioned in Statement (II). However, Willingdon flatly refused to meet Gandhi. This was seen as a direct insult and showed that the British had no intention of negotiating. This left Congress with no peaceful option. So the Congress passed a resolution to renew the Civil Disobedience Movement, i.e., Statement (I).

Therefore, Statement (II) is the reason for (I).
