Analyzing Statement I The scientific initiative to cultivate heat-tolerant coral strains is an effect of severe ocean warming, coral bleaching, and the threat of marine biodiversity loss. Analyzing Statement II The allocation of millions of dollars in grants by international coalitions to expand marine protected areas is also an effect of the worsening degradation of ocean ecosystems due to climate change. Determining the Relationship The biological cultivation project I did not directly cause international governments to award multi-million dollar grants for general protection zones II. Similarly, the distribution of broad infrastructure grants II did not trigger the specific creation of heat-tolerant coral research I. Instead, both the targeted biological innovation I and the large-scale financial mobilization II are parallel responses driven by a common underlying cause global ocean warming, marine habitat collapse, and the escalating climate crisis.

Question

In the question below, two statements (

I and (I
I are given. These statements may be either independent causes or may be effects of independent causes or a common cause. One of these statements may be the effect of the other statement. Read both the statements and decide which of the following answer choices correctly depicts the relationship between these two statements. Statement I: Marine biologists have initiated large-scale cultivation projects for heat-tolerant coral strains designed to survive rapidly warming marine temperatures. Statement II: International maritime coalitions have committed multi-million dollar grants to expand marine protected areas and fortify coastal ecosystem defense systems.
