    Solution

    The record-breaking heatwave and high temperatures (Statement II) create a direct need for cooling solutions. This environmental condition acts as the trigger or "cause." Consequently, people purchase more air conditioners and coolers to cope with the heat, leading to a surge in sales (Statement I), which is the "effect." Thus, Statement II is the cause and Statement I is its effect.
