In a Mandatory Evacuation Zone, the action is to leave the area entirely. The term “mandatory” means it is not optional—everyone within the zone must move to a safer location outside the danger area, regardless of whether they’re indoors or outdoors. So the guidance covers all people: if you’re inside a building, you evacuate out of it and head to a designated safe area; if you’re outdoors, you move away from the zone to a safer location. Follow official routes and shelter instructions and don’t delay to gather belongings.

This differs from the other options because an indoor-only evacuation or outdoor-only evacuation wouldn’t fully remove people from the danger, and saying no evacuation is required contradicts the mandatory directive.
