Explanation

An Incident Response Plan (IRP) documents the steps an organization takes when a disruptive incident occurs, including identifying which systems are critical and what actions must be taken in a defined sequence. When the CISO 'activates a plan' in response to a power emergency, the IRP provides the structured checklist: which systems to keep running, which to shut down, and in what order. A BIA (A) is an analytical document used to identify business impacts in advance - it informs the IRP but is not itself activated. CERT (B) is a response team, not a plan. COOP (D) focuses on maintaining continuity of essential government or organizational functions long-term and is related, but the IRP is the immediately activated document that identifies critical systems and directs the response steps during the incident.
