Rescue = Saving someone from harm.
Help = To aid someone.
Defense = Protection against harm.
Defend = To prevent someone from being harmed.
In this context, Help is more accurate than Defense. If the option was DEFEND instead of DEFENSE, then that could have been the answer.

I think safety is correct because rescue means being safe or free from hazard from any type of problem.

Rescue process is done after misfortune happened, so I guess here defense is better choice.
