keywords: 

{'winds': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'lower pressure': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'sea': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'land': [0, 0, 0, 1]}

Option 1 states that both statements are individually true and that Statement II is the correct explanation of Statement I.

Statement I states that during the day, winds blow from the sea to the land. This is generally true. During the day, the land gets heated up more quickly than the surrounding sea. This causes the air above the land to heat up and rise, creating an area of lower pressure. The air above the sea remains cooler and denser, creating an area of higher pressure. As a result, the air flows from the area of higher pressure (sea) to the area of lower pressure (land), leading to winds blowing from the sea to the land.

Statement II explains that the land gets more heated than the surrounding sea, which leads to lower pressure developing over land compared to the sea. This explanation aligns with the phenomenon described in Statement I.

Therefore, option 1 correctly states that both statements are true and that Statement II provides the correct explanation for Statement I.
