    Solution

    Statement II explains that a major cyclone warning has been issued, resulting in authorities suspending many flights.
    This situation would naturally lead to passengers cancelling their tickets. So: Cyclone warning and flight suspension (II) → rise in ticket cancellations (I) Thus, II is the cause and I is its effect.
