Statements: In Japan, the incidence of stomach cancer is very high, while that of bowel cancer is very low. But Japanese immigrate to Hawaii, this is reversed - the rate of bowel cancer increases but the rate of stomach cancer is reduced in the next generation. All this is related to nutrition - the diets of Japanese in Hawaii are different than those in Japan.
Conclusions:
- The same diet as in Hawaii should be propagated in Japan also.
- Bowel cancer is less severe than stomach cancer.
Answer: Option D
The statement neither propagates the diet of any of the countries nor compares the two types of cancer. So, neither I nor II follows.
