    Answer: (B)

    Under the Stafford Act, the President may designate an incident as either an "emergency" or a "major disaster."

    Explanation:

    The Stafford Act allows the President to classify an incident that has occurred, or is about to occur, as either a "major disaster" or an "emergency".

    This only occurs if the state in which the incident happens is not capable of handling the incident on its own.

    After such a declaration, the Federal government can then render assistance to those affected in form of disaster relief materials or funds.
