   A company is evaluating whether to use a centralized or decentralized recovery approach. The company has two data centers in the same city, each with its own IT team. The teams are well-staffed and experienced. The company's applications are critical and require very low recovery time objectives (RTOs). Which factor most strongly favors a decentralized approach in this scenario?

   • AThe company has a limited budget for disaster recovery
   • BEach data center has its own experienced IT team that can manage recovery independently
   • CThe applications are homogeneous across both data centers
   • DThe two data centers are in the same city, so network latency is low

The company needs to ensure that each office can recover its own systems independently. Which recovery approach is most appropriate?

   • ADecentralized recovery with a single global recovery team
   • BCentralized recovery from a single global backup hub
   • CCentralized recovery with local backup copies at each office
   • DDecentralized recovery with each office managing its own backup and recovery
