   A hospital is conducting a risk assessment for its DR plan. The hospital's primary data center is in a building that also houses the emergency department. The risk assessment identifies that a fire in the building could destroy both the data center and the emergency department. The hospital has a secondary data center in a nearby city, but the emergency department does not have a redundant facility. The hospital's BIA shows that the EHR system has an RTO of 2 hours and an RPO of 30 minutes. Which of the following is the most appropriate risk mitigation strategy?

   • AAccept the risk because the probability of a fire is low.
   • BImplement a warm standby environment at the secondary data center and also develop a plan to relocate emergency department operations to a nearby hospital.
   • CMove the EHR system to the secondary data center and implement asynchronous replication.
   • DPurchase business interruption insurance to cover financial losses from a fire.
