Calculation:

Statement I: The government has banned fishing in the lake.

Statement II: High amount of hazardous toxins were found in the lake water.

Analysis:

Statement I suggests a government action (banning fishing) which may be a response to some problem in the lake. Statement II mentions hazardous toxins found in the water, which can be a reason for the government to take such an action to protect public health or the environment.

This shows that the presence of hazardous toxins (Statement II) is likely the cause, and the government’s decision to ban fishing (Statement I) is the effect of that cause.

Hence, the correct option is 2) Statement II is the cause and statement I is its effect.
