Correct answer: B — Priority 2 (yellow)

A non-walking adult without P1 physiological triggers is P2 in the MITT approach. He is not P3 because he cannot walk. He is breathing and responsive, so dead triage is inappropriate. The pearl is that P2 casualties still need care and re-triage as resources permit.
