Answer 1

(II) is the reason for (I).

Explanation:

Statement (II) represents the underlying reason for Statement (I) because the British Government sent the Cabinet Mission to India in 1946 with the primary goal of planning a smooth transfer of power. To achieve this objective and keep India united amidst communal tensions, the mission formulated and proposed a two-tier federal plan as its core strategy to resolve the political deadlock between major Indian parties.
