Given below is a statement followed by two possible reasons numbered I and II. Read the statement carefully and decide which of the two explain(s) the event/observation/information given in the statement. Statement - The railway authorities have decided to run two holiday special trains on Tuesdays and Fridays from City A to City B from 19th October 2023 to 5th January 2024. Reasons: (I) Flights from City A to City C are booked to capacity, and airlines are planning to increase the number of flights operating between City A and City C from August 2023. (II) Many migrants from City B who work in city A, travel back to City B on trains from October to January for the festivals. The existing trains cannot accommodate this increase in passenger demand.
Neither I nor II is a possible reason.
Only I is a possible reason.
Only II is a possible reason.
Both I and II are possible reasons.
Only II is a possible reason.
Evaluate each reason independently against the statement. If a reason logically explains why the special holiday trains were scheduled during that exact period (October to January), it is a valid reason.

Analyze the Statement
The railway authorities decided to run special holiday trains from City A to City B specifically between 19th October 2023 and 5th January 2024. This indicates a temporary, high-demand seasonal requirement.
Evaluate Reason I
Reason I discusses flights from City A to City C and airline expansion starting in August 2023. This is completely irrelevant to trains running between City A and City B from October 2023 to January 2024. Thus, Reason I is not a valid reason.
Evaluate Reason II
Reason II explains that migrants working in City A travel back to City B during the festival season between October and January, and existing trains cannot handle the increased passenger volume. This directly justifies scheduling holiday special trains between City A and City B during those exact months. Thus, Reason II is a valid reason.
Option A (Neither I nor II) is incorrect because Reason II is a valid reason. Option B (Only I is a possible reason) is incorrect because Reason I is irrelevant. Option D (Both I and II) is incorrect because Reason I has no logical connection to City B trains.
C is correct because Reason II directly explains the festival-induced passenger surge from City A to City B during October to January, whereas Reason I is irrelevant as it concerns flights to City C.
Always verify matching entities (cities, transport modes, and timeframes) when evaluating statement-reason questions. Discrepancies in locations or categories immediately invalidate the option.
