Business continuity planning (BCP) is designed to keep critical operations running during and after disruptions, which directly reduces financial losses (from downtime, lost revenue, and recovery costs) and protects the organization's reputation.

Option C is wrong because BCPs do not guarantee 100% protection against cyber threats. Option D is incorrect because zero downtime is unrealistic; BCPs aim to minimize downtime, not eliminate it entirely.
