      Solution

      Analyze Statement II: This statement describes a shift in corporate strategy—releasing movies directly to homes via streaming. This change in availability and convenience acts as the cause. Analyze Statement I: This statement describes the result—a drop in people going to physical theaters. Since consumers can now watch the same "high-budget movies" at home, they have less incentive to visit a cinema. This is the effect. Conclusion: The change in how the product is delivered (Statement II) has caused the change in where people consume the product (Statement I). Therefore, Statement II is the cause and Statement I is its effect.
