Explanation
All four options are correct because the disaster recovery team owns the entire lifecycle of a disaster response event - not just one phase of it.
- A is correct because monitoring execution and assessing results is the team's core accountability during and after a disaster; they must ensure the plan is working as intended.
- B is correct because continuous improvement is a formal responsibility - lessons learned from each incident must feed back into an updated plan, preventing the same failures from recurring.
- C is correct because communication is a critical team function; notifying management, staff, and third parties (vendors, regulators, partners) is part of coordinating the response and meeting legal or contractual obligations.
- D is correct because the disaster recovery team holds the authority to trigger execution of procedures - no one else should unilaterally activate the plan without their involvement.
There are no distractors in this question; all four choices represent genuine, distinct responsibilities that span the full DR lifecycle (initiate → execute → communicate → assess → improve).
Memory tip: Think MICA - Monitor, Improve, Communicate, Activate. A disaster recovery team that can't do all four is an incomplete team.
