Answer 1

Correct option is (c) It contains status information for briefing the incoming Incident Commander or other incoming resources.

The Incident Briefing (ICS 201) provides the Incident Commander (and the Command and General Staffs) with basic information regarding the incident situation and the resources allocated to the incident. In addition to a briefing document, the ICS 201 also serves as an initial action worksheet.
