Explanation

A Business Continuity Plan (BCP) is the comprehensive, organization-wide plan that covers maintaining or restoring all critical business functions during and after a disruption - not just IT systems. An Incident Response Plan (A) focuses on responding to specific security incidents. A Disaster Recovery Plan (B) is a subset of the BCP focused narrowly on IT system and data recovery. A Risk Management Plan (C) deals with identifying and mitigating risks before they occur. The BCP is the broadest, overarching plan that encompasses business operations, people, processes, and technology.
