• B. ഒന്ന് മാത്രം
• C. ഇവയൊന്നുമല്ല
• D. ഒന്നും നാലും

Answer 1

Answer:

B. ഒന്ന് മാത്രം

Discussion-Based DMEx are foundational for strategic and intellectual development in disaster management. Their core functions include fostering critical thinking, enhancing communication, improving awareness, and refining plans and policies. However, they are not designed for or capable of replicating the real-time, physical command and control challenges of large-scale operational deployments. That specific training typically falls under the scope of field exercises or full-scale drills that involve actual physical resources and personnel movement.
