Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B - Statement I is the cause and Statement II is its effect
The seniors were suspended because they ragged the juniors. The ragging (Statement I) came first and is the cause, and the suspension (Statement II) is the disciplinary effect. Reading the suspension as the cause of the ragging reverses the order of events.
