Explanation
Based on the given statements: I. There are orders by the high court to clean Karachi. II. More than 500 people died in Karachi due to land pollution. The relationship between the statements can be analyzed as follows: Statement I implies that there is an order from the high court to clean Karachi. This suggests that there is a recognition of a problem and an attempt to address it. The order to clean Karachi can be seen as a response to an existing issue or problem. Statement II indicates that more than 500 people died in Karachi due to land pollution. This statement presents the consequence or effect of the land pollution issue in Karachi, resulting in loss of life. Based on this analysis, we can conclude that Statement II is the cause and Statement I is its effect. The pollution and resulting deaths (Statement II) likely prompted the high court to issue orders for cleaning Karachi (Statement I). Therefore, the correct answer is: B) Statement II is the cause, and statement I is its effect.

About Cause and Effect
Cause and effect questions examine whether one event produces another, whether both arise from a common factor, or whether their connection is only coincidental. They involve identifying preceding and resulting events, separating correlation from causation, and judging whether the stated evidence supports a direct, possible or unlikely relationship.
