The local administration should advise the fishermen not to go to dangerous area in the sea. II. The local administration should alert the people of coastal areas of these two states and they should be prepared to shift to safer places.

The correct answer is: Both I and II follow.

The statement says that a severe cyclonic storm would hit coastal Andhra Pradesh and Orissa in the next forty-eight hours. This means that there is a high risk of flooding, damage to property, and loss of life. The local administration should take all necessary steps to protect the people in these areas.

Course of action I is to advise the fishermen not to go to dangerous areas in the sea. This is a sensible precaution, as fishermen are at risk of being caught in the storm and losing their lives.

Course of action II is to alert the people of coastal areas of these two states and they should be prepared to shift to safer places. This is also a sensible precaution, as people in these areas may need to evacuate their homes if the storm becomes too severe.

Therefore, both course of action I and II follow from the statement.
