Answer 1

Statements:

I. University X has hiked the fee four times in various courses.

Statement I is the cause of the fee hike, which is an action taken by the university.

II. Students across all courses are protesting against fee hike by university X.

Statement II is the effect of the fee hike, as students are reacting to the university's decision.

Therefore, Statement I is the cause, and Statement II is its effect.

Hence, Option 4 is correct because Statement I is the cause, and Statement II is its effect.
