Given below are two statements. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

Statement I:In many cases, both organisms and human infrastructure will not be able to move or adapt quickly enough to a changing climate.

Statement II:Infectious diseases are likely to increase as a result of global warming.

ABoth Statement I and Statement II are true ✓ Correct

BBoth Statement I and Statement II are false

CStatement I is true but Statement II is false

DStatement I is false but Statement II is true

Correct answer: (A) Both Statement I and Statement II are true

Explanation

Both statements about climate change impacts are true.

Statement 1 is true, as many organisms and human structures cannot move or adapt fast enough to rapid climate change.

Statement 2 is true, as warming is expected to spread infectious diseases more widely.

Species that cannot shift range or behaviour quickly face decline or extinction.

Warmer, wetter conditions widen the range of disease carrying mosquitoes and other vectors.

These combined pressures make adaptation and mitigation both urgent.
