Final answer:
The Navy and Marine Corps Medal is awarded to individuals who display heroism not involving actual conflict with the enemy while serving in the U.S. Navy or Marine Corps.
Step-by-step explanation:
The award that is given to individuals who, while serving in any capacity with the U.S. Navy or the U.S. Marine Corps, distinguish themselves by heroism not involving actual conflict with the enemy is the Navy and Marine Corps Medal (Option B).
This medal is awarded for acts of heroism or meritorious service that involve the risk of personal safety and do not meet the criteria for other higher awards. It is given to recognize exceptional courage and selflessness demonstrated by members of the Navy or Marine Corps.
An example of the perseverance and bravery shown by service members can be seen in the story of Eugene Obregon, a United States Marine who shielded his comrades with his body and was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions.
