• B
  73% (19)
• C

• D

Explanation

Annual tabletop exercises are the best method because they actively test the incident response plan by simulating real breach scenarios in a controlled environment. Participants walk through their roles, decisions, and communications, which reveals gaps, outdated procedures, and coordination failures that cannot be detected by simply reviewing documentation. Option A (security management validation) is passive and does not test actual response capability. Option C (third-party review) provides an external perspective but lacks the hands-on simulation needed to expose procedural weaknesses. Option D (privacy office review) is important for plan accuracy but is a document review, not a test of execution effectiveness. Only tabletop exercises validate that people and processes work together as intended under simulated pressure.
