Answer 1

Answer:

A. i, iii

The realism in a mock exercise is paramount because it allows for the stress-testing of plans under conditions similar to actual emergencies, including time pressure and resource constraints. This helps participants become familiar with high-stress situations in a safe environment, improving their decision-making capabilities and enhancing their ability to adapt to unforeseen challenges.
