Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. If only II follows.
I. All accidents happen due to overspeeding.
We cannot surely say that all accidents are due to overspeeding. It can be for some other reasons like drunk driving, drowsy driving, etc.
II. High speed increases the risk of accidents.
We can say that high speed can be one of the reasons for the road accident. Hence, we can say that inference II follows.
