Correct answer: A — Priority 3 (green) with registration and later reassessment
Walking casualties are initially P3, but they should be registered and reassessed because deterioration, occult injury or psychological needs may emerge. Visible distress alone does not make the casualty P1. Failing to record details undermines accountability and reunification. The pearl is that major incident care includes tracking people, not just treating wounds.
