Solution
(II) is the reason for (I).
Explanation:
The success of the Muslim Deputation to Lord Minto in 1906 encouraged Muslim leaders to form a separate political organisation, which led to the establishment of the All India Muslim League. The League aimed to protect Muslim political rights and interests. Its activities were mainly directed against the Indian National Congress rather than the British. This explains why Muslims felt the need for a separate political organisation.
