The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Statement I: Cities show deviations from the regional (macro) climate, for example the urban heat island effect, altered wind flow and reduced humidity. True.
Statement II: Buildings, paved surfaces, reduced vegetation and anthropogenic heat modify the micro climate of a locality so that it differs from the macro climate. True.
Statement II explains Statement I, so both are true.
