Explanation

A technical guide provides the step-by-step procedures, system configurations, network diagrams, and technical instructions that IT and recovery team members need to actually bring alternate sites online - it's the hands-on operational reference for getting systems running.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B. Executive summary - A high-level overview written for leadership; it communicates impact and status, not technical restoration steps.
• C. Department-specific plan - Covers a particular department's recovery priorities and roles, but doesn't provide the technical infrastructure details needed to stand up a site.
• D. Checklist - Useful for verifying that tasks are completed, but a checklist alone lacks the detailed technical instructions needed to perform the actual recovery work.

Memory tip: Think of it this way - the executive reads the summary, departments follow their plans, and techs use checklists to confirm steps - but it's the technical guide that tells the engineers how to actually flip the switches and restore systems at an alternate site.
