- DStatement I is false but Statement II is true.
Explanation
Uttar Pradesh did emerge as a strong base of the Congress during Non-Cooperation, and Bengal's literary output in those years was indeed meagre compared with the rich Swadeshi-era flowering — both are noted in Bipan Chandra's account. But Bengal's literary meagreness does not explain UP's Congress strength. Hence both true, but II is not the correct explanation of I.
