Answer: Option A
Answer: (a)
The statement declares enactment of OSA as the direct cause of an increase in corruption. So, I follows.
However, the enactment of an act by a government is undertaken for the betterment and not with the intention of encouraging corruption through whatever may be the outcome later on. So, II does not follow.
