   A regional bank is conducting its annual BIA. The BIA team has identified that the wire-transfer processing function must be restored within 2 hours of a disruption, while the customer-facing loan application portal can tolerate up to 24 hours of downtime. The bank's BCM program is in the design phase and needs to allocate recovery resources. Which action best aligns the BCM lifecycle with the BIA findings?

   • AFocus only on the wire-transfer function because it has the shortest RTO, and deprioritize the loan portal indefinitely.
   • BTreat both functions equally and procure identical recovery infrastructure to simplify the plan and avoid confusion during an incident.
   • CPrioritize the wire-transfer function for dedicated hot-site capacity and assign the loan portal to a warm-site with 24-hour recovery capability.
   • DDefer resource allocation until after the testing phase to validate the BIA assumptions first.

   • AMove the VoIP system to a separate data center that can recover within 4 hours, regardless of cost.
   • BRely on the data center's recovery plan because it covers all systems.
   • CAccept the data center's 8-hour recovery time and adjust the call center's RTO to 8 hours.
   • DNegotiate a higher recovery priority for the VoIP system with the data center, or establish an alternate call-routing solution.
