Select the option that shows the correct relationship between Statements (I) and (II).

Question

KollegeApply · Accepted Answer

(I) and (II) are independent of each other. Explanation: Both statements are true historical facts, but describe completely separate things. Statement (I) explains why Asian and African countries chose to remain neutral toward the Cold War superpowers to protect their independence. Statement (II) lists a completely different, modern global goal of the Non-Aligned Movement to save the environment and protect human rights. Because neither statement acts as a cause or contradiction of the other, they remain independent.
