    D Both the statements I and II are effects of independent causes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Both the statements I and II are effects of some common cause Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Statement II reports a red alert due to an approaching cyclone. Statement I describes evacuation measures and transport shutdowns by authorities — which are precautionary actions likely taken because of the cyclone warning. Hence, Statement II (cyclone alert) is the cause, and Statement I (evacuation and shutdown) is the effect.
