Solution

The correct option is A True
When these sentences are combined, "that is the reason" is replaced by a because-clause (an adverb clause); it combines the sentences into a complex sentence. The adverb clause ("because it's my birthday") refers to the reason, which is the "birthday". Hence the statement is true and option A is correct while B is incorrect.
