Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the problem in the stem
Identified a localized industrial emergency involving a chemical gas leak and immediate public health risks.
Administrative decision-making requires defining the scope and urgency of the problem.
2
Evaluate Course of Action I
Course of Action I is practical, feasible, and directly targets the immediate distress of affected citizens without causing secondary damage.
A valid course of action must be proportional and directly address the emergency.
3
Evaluate Course of Action II
Course of Action II is rejected as an extreme, generalized reaction to a localized incident.
Drastic nationwide policies should not be imposed impulsively due to an isolated operational breach.
