General Studies · Cause and Effect

Statement: There is a tremendous increase in temperature during this summer, thereby damaging crops greatly. The effect of temperature is enhanced under high vapor pressure deficits because pollen viability is a function of pollen moisture content, which is strongly dependent on vapor pressure deficit. Which of the following can be concluded as a direct logical effect of the statement given above? Effects: I. At the retail level too, prices of essential electronics have increased sharply during the period. II. Agricultural crop output falls due to high temperature and reduced pollen viability. III. The prices of vegetables and food crops have increased considerably during this summer.
