Explanation
A BCDR (Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery) test should be performed whenever a significant change is made to the system it protects. A functional change to an application alters how the application behaves, which directly affects whether existing recovery procedures, failover sequences, data backups, and RTO/RPO targets are still valid. The BCDR plan may need to account for new dependencies, data flows, or restore procedures introduced by the functional change. In contrast, a UI overhaul (C) doesn't affect underlying data or system behavior, a staff change (B) is an organizational issue handled by training/documentation updates, and a regulatory change (D) would typically trigger a compliance review rather than a BCDR test.
