Explanation
Implementing action items from the last DR test demonstrates that the organization has completed a full cycle of testing: it conducted a test, identified gaps or failures, and remediated them. This is the strongest evidence of operational readiness because it proves the DR plan was exercised under simulated conditions and weaknesses were actively addressed. Senior management sign-off (C) shows governance but not operational capability. Shortened RTOs (B) may represent changed targets, not improved capability. Available backups (D) are a necessary component but not sufficient evidence of overall DR readiness.
