Answer: A - Enables responders from different jurisdictions to work together to respond to incidents

Explanation: National Incident Management System (NIMS) guides all levels of Government, NGO'S, Organisations and Individuals to respond to, prevent, protect against and recover from incidents.

It applies to all incidents from traffic accidents to major disaster. It provides a common framework to integrate diverse capabilities and seek to achieve a common goal.

NIMS defines operational systems, including the Incident Command System (ICS), Emergency Operations Center (EOC) structures, and Multiagency Coordination Groups (MAC Groups) that guide how personnel work together during incidents.
