    Solution

    Statement II explains the reason for the CCI’s action—preferential treatment by the e-commerce platform indicates abuse of its dominant position, leading to unfair competition. Statement I describes the effect of this behavior: the imposition of a fine by the CCI. Thus, statement II is the cause, and statement I is its effect.
