Answer 2

The one that is activated as necessary to support local EOCs and to ensure that responders have the resources they need to conduct response activities is A: State/tribal Emergency Operations Center.

Step-by-step explanation:

A State/Tribal Emergency Operations Center is a central command and control facility responsible for assisting the local EOCs and give those local EOCs what they need in order to respond in cases of emergency. This center is responsible for strategic direction and operational decisions and does not normally directly control field assets, here tactical decisions to lower commands are made.
