Statement I : Southern part of France is famous for wine making industry. Statement II : Southern part of France produces a variety of fruits due to Mediterranean climate.

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

Statement I is true as the southern part of France, particularly regions like Languedoc-Roussillon and Provence, is a global powerhouse for the wine-making industry. Languedoc-Roussillon alone represents France's largest wine-producing area, where more than one in three French wines is produced. Statement II is also true; the region's Mediterranean climate, characterized by hot, dry summers and mild, moist winters, is ideal for cultivating a wide variety of fruits, including citrus, figs, and olives [1]. This climate is the direct cause of the region's viticultural success, as the consistent warmth and sunshine facilitate excellent grape ripening and high sugar content [1]. Therefore, the Mediterranean climate described in Statement II provides the environmental foundation that makes the wine industry in southern France possible, making it the correct explanation for Statement I.
