Answer: D. The President

Explanation:

Catastrophic and large-scale events require the President to lead the Federal Government's endeavor to guarantee that the needed resources are distributed efficiently. All Federal agencies are obliged to cooperate, as well as with other areas, the community, and the private sector.

Only in the case of incidents where Federal assistance is granted under the Stafford Act, is the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) who organizes the task.
