Explanation

Ransomware encrypts data and disrupts operations. A Business Continuity Plan (BCP) provides pre-defined procedures to maintain or quickly restore critical business functions when systems or data are unavailable. It addresses how the organization operates through the disruption - potentially via backups, alternate systems, or manual processes. DLP (A) focuses on preventing data exfiltration, not recovery. Patch management (B) reduces attack surface but doesn't address disruption after an attack. IDS (C) detects intrusions but doesn't restore operations.
