Explanation

Cloud backup software is the best recommendation here. It automatically backs up files to offsite cloud servers located outside the flood plain, meaning data survives a local disaster. Recovery within a few days is realistic with cloud backup - files can be restored to replacement hardware at any alternate location with internet access. A hot site (A) is a fully equipped duplicate data center kept ready for immediate failover; it provides near-instant recovery but is extremely expensive and excessive for a small business needing recovery 'within a few days.' Moving to IaaS/SaaS (B) is a major business transformation, not just a backup strategy. Local tape backups stored on-site (D) would be physically destroyed or flooded along with the primary equipment - storing them on-site in a flood zone defeats the purpose of off-site backup. Cloud backup provides the right balance of cost, simplicity, off-site protection, and recovery time for a small business.
