   A company's BC/DR plan assumes that a regional disaster would affect only its primary data center.

What is the most significant flaw in the BC/DR plan?

   • AThe company did not have a backup power generator.
   • BThe alternate site was not geographically diverse enough to avoid the same regional disaster.
   • CThe RTO was set too low for the company's recovery capability.
   • DThe BC/DR team did not have enough staff to perform the recovery.

   During a disaster recovery exercise, the IT team successfully restores the critical application within the RTO.

What is the primary lesson from this exercise?

   • AThe IT team should have tested the application more thoroughly.
   • BThe exercise should have been conducted without the business units.
   • CThe RTO was set too low for the business to recover.
   • DThe BC/DR plan must include non-IT resources, such as work areas and user access, to ensure end-to-end recovery.
