Answer: D

Explanation:

During an incident, emergency actions should minimize or eliminate casualties and damage to the business operation, thus reducing business interruptions. Determining the extent of property damage is not the consideration; emergency actions should minimize, not determine, the extent of the damage. Protecting/ preserving environmental conditions may not be relevant. Ensuring orderly plan activation is important but not as critical as reducing damage to the operation.
