Answer 1

Answer:

C. 1, 2

Mock exercises are inherently practical, designed to test and validate plans in a simulated environment, not just theoretical knowledge. Far from hindering, they are specifically aimed at enhancing coordination among diverse agencies, which is critical for a unified response during real disasters. Their purpose is to identify strengths and weaknesses and translate them into actionable plans for improvement, rather than being purely theoretical or causing discord.
