उत्तर
(II) is the reason for (I).
Explanation:
The 1871 resolution by Lord Mayo’s government making Urdu the medium for Muslim instruction is a historical fact, and historians/textbooks present this as part of British “divide and rule” measures intended to win Muslim support and widen Hindu–Muslim differences; thus, the motive (II) explains the policy (I).
