Answer:

B: The Federal Government needs to respond quickly

Step-by-step explanation:

Congress needs to go through a long and careful process to get things done, not to mention them needing to have the majority of congress agree.

The president/executive branch of the government is made up of much less people, as well as the president himself being commander and chief of the military.

Time is very important during a national emergency, and the president can get things done quickly.

Hope this helps.
