Explanation
A disaster recovery plan (DRP) defines the specific procedures and strategies an organization will follow to restore IT systems, data, and operations after a disruption such as a cyberattack, hardware failure, or natural disaster. It answers 'how do we recover?' Option A (identifying vulnerabilities) describes vulnerability assessments. Option B (financial impact assessment) is part of a Business Impact Analysis (BIA), not the DRP itself. Option D is incorrect because a DRP cannot prevent all threats - it is a reactive recovery framework, not a preventive one.
