ARecovery Time Operations
BRecovery Time Objective
CRecovery Team Objective
DRecovery Team Operations

Explanation

Recovery Time Objective (RTO). In the context of disaster recovery planning, RTO is a critical metric that defines the maximum tolerable amount of time a system, application, or network can be down following an outage or disaster. It sets the goal for restoring IT and business activities to avoid unacceptable consequences associated with a disruption in business continuity (see the ISC2 Study Guide, Chapter 2, Module 3). For example, if an organization sets a four-hour RTO for its email server, the disaster recovery plan should be designed and implemented to ensure that the email server is up and running within four hours of an outage. While they may sound plausible, the remaining options, Recovery Team Operations, Recovery Team Objective, and Recovery Time Operations, are not terms used in disaster recovery planning
