Explanation
A Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) is a documented, structured approach for responding to an unplanned incident (such as a natural disaster like a winter storm) with the goal of restoring or maintaining operations. The key indicators here are: an imminent, specific disaster event (winter storm) and immediate action taken to draft procedures (moving personnel to alternate locations) to prevent operational downtime. While a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) is broader and strategic in nature - covering long-term resilience - a DRP is the tactical, event-specific document that defines exactly how personnel, systems, and processes will be managed during and after a specific disaster. Option B (incident response plan) focuses on security incidents like breaches. Option D (risk avoidance) is a risk management strategy, not a planning document.
