(A) Both statements I and II are correct and statement II is the correct explanation of statement I.

Rapid improvement in technology stimulated globalisation, and faster, cheaper delivery of goods across long distances is a direct example of how technology enabled this.

Explanation

Statement I is directly from the textbook. Statement II explains how technology stimulated globalisation — by enabling faster delivery at lower costs (through improvements in transportation). Since Statement II gives the mechanism/reason for Statement I, it is the correct explanation, making option (A) the right choice. Avoid (B), which is used when both statements are true but unrelated.
