Given below is a cause followed by possible effects numbered I, II and III. Read the cause carefully and decide which of the three can be a/the possible effect(s). Cause: There has been an increase in the number of thefts of bicycles being reported in the apartments in locality X in the last 2 months. Effects: (I) Police have instructed security guards of locality X to record details of all entries and exits and verify the phone numbers of all delivery personnel. (II) Many apartment complexes have decided to install multiple CCTV cameras inside and outside their gates. (III) More women police constables have been appointed in the police station adjoining locality X.
Only I can be a possible effect

Identify actions that directly mitigate the reported problem; CCTV cameras and security verification are standard immediate responses to theft, while personnel changes at a police station are unrelated administrative decisions.
Identify actions that directly mitigate the reported problem; CCTV cameras and security verification are standard immediate responses to theft, while personnel changes at a police station are unrelated administrative decisions.
Analyze the Cause
The cause is an increase in bicycle thefts in locality X, which requires preventive security measures and surveillance.
Evaluate Effects
Effect I (verifying entry/exit and delivery personnel) is a direct security measure to prevent theft. Effect II (installing CCTV cameras) is also a direct security measure to monitor and deter theft. Effect III (appointing more women police constables) is an administrative decision typically related to crimes against women or general police staffing, not specifically or uniquely to combat bicycle thefts.
Conclusion
Both I and II are logical immediate consequences of the increase in thefts, whereas III is an unlikely immediate response to a specific string of property thefts.
A: Only I ignores the validity of II. C: Only II ignores the validity of I. D: III is not a logical direct effect of bicycle theft increases, making any option containing III incorrect.
B is correct because both the implementation of stricter entry/exit security protocols (I) and the installation of surveillance cameras (II) are direct, logical administrative and security responses to an increase in local thefts.
In cause-effect questions, distinguish between 'preventive security actions' (directly linked to crime reduction) and 'administrative policy shifts' (often unrelated to specific petty crime trends).
