Explanation

RTO (Recovery Time Objective) defines the maximum acceptable duration of time within which a business process or system must be restored after a disruption in order to avoid unacceptable consequences. It directly answers 'how long can we be down?' RPO (B - Recovery Point Objective) measures the maximum acceptable amount of data loss, expressed as a point in time (e.g., 'we can lose no more than 4 hours of data'). RSL (A) is not a standard BCDR metric. SRE (C) stands for Site Reliability Engineering, a software engineering discipline unrelated to this metric.
