The correct answer is: Risk identification and mapping; Community compliance; Availability of flood insurance

The 'Three Legged Stool' refers to the three main aspects that are fundamental to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Option A is incorrect because the 'Three Legged Stool' does not include the actions of rescue or recovery. Option C is incorrect because it does not include the key components of risk identification and mapping, community compliance, and availability of flood insurance. Option D is incorrect because it does not accurately reflect the key components of the NFIP. Only option B includes the three key aspects of the NFIP, making it the correct answer.
