It is normal for S not to feel anxious because the distance of Maine from South Texas is approximately 1,869 miles and the tornado most likely will not reach Maine. In addition, she thinks that the event is irrelevant to her situation as she is living far from that event.
Hence, the correct answer is (b) Appraises the event as irrelevant to her own situation.
The other options are inappropriate to the question asked. Hence, (a), (c), and (d) options are wrong.
