Statements: $$ \textbf{ I. The meteorological department predicts deficient rainfall during monsoon season.} $$ $$ \textbf{ II. The GDP growth estimates have been revised downwards by the government.} $$ Choose the correct option:
While a severe drought (resulting from deficient rainfall) can impact agricultural output and, consequently, the overall GDP,
the initial prediction of deficient rainfall and the revision of GDP growth estimates are distinct events driven by different primary causes.
The prediction of deficient rainfall is a meteorological phenomenon, while the revision of GDP estimates is an economic assessment based on various economic indicators.
They are not directly caused by each other in a cause-and-effect relationship where one directly leads to the other as its sole or primary cause.
They are both effects, but of independent causal chains.
