Statements:

I. Akshay's movie has crossed the 300 crores mark at the box-office.

Statement I is an effect of the movie's commercial success, which can be attributed to factors such as good script, strong performances, effective marketing, and audience reception.

II. His movie is nominated for the Oscars.

Statement II is an effect of the movie's critical acclaim and artistic merit, which is judged by a panel of experts in the film industry for various categories like direction, acting, screenplay, and technical aspects.

Therefore, both statements are independent effects of different causes and are not directly related to each other. A movie's box office success doesn't guarantee an Oscar nomination, nor does an Oscar nomination guarantee high box office collection.

Hence, Option 4 is correct because both statements are effects of independent causes.
