Within the various versions of DJI consumer drones, DJI created the Combination Stick Command (CSC) to both start and stop the motors. Initially, this was the only way to control the motors:
A problem was realized with agressive flight, where the CSC could be initiated accidentially, resulting in the aircraft crashing/falling out of the air due to accidential motor stoppage. With the evolution of the GO/GO4 app, DJI introduced the landing method of motor shutdown by simply holding the throttle down, after the aircraft has landed, for three seconds, and the motors shutdown. This has become the standard way of shutting down the motors on landing. But the inflight CSC problem remained a possiblity.
So with the P4, DJI introduced an alternative control combination for emergency motor shutdown. But long time users of DJI products didn't like this methodology. So with the Mavic, DJI programmed additional intelligence into the flight controller that allows the pilot to choose how the motors can be stopped in mid-flight....
That's what you are referring to in your screenshot. Since stopping the motors in mid--flight WILL cause the aircraft to crash, if you select "For use in emergencies only", then the Mavic motors can only be stopped in mid-flight when the Mavic flight controller detects a CRITICAL error. If you select "CSC Maneuver", then you (the pilot) can deliberately stop the motors or accidently stop the motors in mid-filght with a simple CSC and it will stop the motors...
So if you want to fly agressively and not worry about accidential CSC commands, then select "For use in emergencies only", and the GO4 app will protect you. If your an old-timer and like full control as the pilot-in-command, then select "CSC Maneuver" and be carefull to not ever push the sticks to the CSC position while in flight.....
