The three options are:
- The first sentence lists specific conditions followed by what might eventually happen.
- The second sentence starts with the expression “for this reason.”
- The second sentence lists potential consequences of the situation described.
Brief justification: the first option shows conditions leading to an outcome (if... then...), the second option is an explicit causal signal, and the fourth option (listed above) is literally stating consequences—together these indicate a cause-and-effect structure.
