Final Answer :

Explanation :
Statement I is true as suburbanization led to an increase in car use, which in turn increased the demand for foreign oil. On the other hand, statement II is false as suburbanization continued to grow after World War II, though it did slow down in the 1970s due to factors such as rising oil prices and changing demographics.
