Explanation:

Question 13

The National Incident Management System (NIMS) has components, and the Incident Command System (ICS) is part of the Command and Coordination component. The Joint Information System is about public information, Communications and Information Management is about info systems and communication, and Resource Management is about resource allocation. So Command and Coordination includes ICS.

Chain of Command and Unity of Command in NIMS means each person reports to only one ICS supervisor. Reporting to day - to - day supervisor (B) goes against unity of command, being assigned to multiple jurisdictions (C) is not related, and receiving work from multiple supervisors (D) also violates unity of command.

Gathering, analyzing, and assessing weather service data from technical specialists is part of Information and Intelligence Management. Management by Objectives is about setting objectives, Incident Facilities and Locations is about incident - related sites, and Integrated Communications is about communication systems. So the correct option is B.

Answer:

C. Command and Coordination
