(I) and (II) are independent of each other. Explanation: Both (I) and (II) are true statements, but they are independent (II) (the Early/Moderate nationalists wanted limited self‑government) does not by itself explain why the Assertive/Extremist leaders demanded immediate Swaraj; the rise of assertive nationalism had several causes (failure of moderates, Curzon’s repressive measures, international events), so the two statements are treated as independent.
