Terry Moyer · Answer 1

B. Reports to only one ICS supervisor.

Explanation:

It means that:

The Chain of command refers to authority's order line which is within ranks of the management organization. The Unity of command refers that each of the individual must report to only on person which is the ICS supervisor.

This very much clarifies the reporting relationships of within the organization and reduces the confusion which may be cause by conflicting directives and enables effective leadership.
