- BBoth the statements are individually true but Statement II is not the correct explanation of Statement I.

Explanation
In Punjab, Non-Cooperation opened with the student strike of January 1921 inspired by Lala Lajpat Rai, and central Punjab was simultaneously stirred by the Akali upsurge for gurdwara reform — both are recorded facts (Bipan Chandra). However, the Akali movement does not explain the student strike; they were parallel developments. Hence both true, but II is not the correct explanation of I.
