The Correct Option is C

Cause and Effect Analysis 

Statement I refers to the increase in atrocities, which could be the result of various factors, but it doesn’t directly cause Statement II.

Statement II refers to the police’s inability to catch the culprits, which could be caused by various factors like lack of resources or effective strategy, but is not directly caused by the increase in crimes.

Both events are independent causes and not directly linked to each other.
