Question

Following a recent disaster a business activates its DRP. The business is operational again within 60 minutes. The business has multiple geographically dispersed locations that have similar equipment and operational capabilities. Which of the following strategies has the business implemented?

Options

ACold site
BReciprocal agreement
CRecovery point objective
DInternal redundancy

Explanation

NOTE: The stated correct answer (C - Recovery Point Objective) appears to be a question error. RPO is a metric that defines the maximum acceptable data loss measured in time (e.g., 'we can tolerate losing up to 4 hours of data'), not a DR strategy. The 60-minute figure in the scenario describes recovery TIME, which maps to RTO (Recovery Time Objective), not RPO. The scenario's actual strategy - multiple geographically dispersed locations with equivalent equipment and operational capabilities - is the textbook definition of D (Internal Redundancy). The business can fail over to another of its own sites quickly because those sites mirror the primary in capability. A (Cold site) would take days to bring online, not 60 minutes. B (Reciprocal agreement) involves a contractual arrangement with a separate organization, not the company's own dispersed locations. The most defensible answer based on the described facts is D (Internal Redundancy).
