The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Statement I refers to the police catching house breakers, and Statement II refers to the citizens' action of starting a night vigil.
Both actions are likely the result of a common concern for safety or increasing crime in the locality. The rise in crime or insecurity might be the underlying cause of both actions. Therefore, both statements are effects of the same common cause.
