The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Statement (I): The Sun is the source of energy for the Earth. The Earth's rotation gives day and night, its revolution with the tilt of the axis gives seasons, and solar heating drives winds, rain, plant growth and all human life. This statement is correct.
Statement (II): Latitude of a place is the angle between the line joining the place to the Earth's centre and the equatorial plane. This statement is correct (the spelling "lattitude" is only a typing slip).
Hence both statements are correct.
Answer: (1) Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
