Explanation

Severe disruptive events - such as pandemics, natural disasters, or major supply chain failures - often cause cascading failures across interconnected systems and partners. Identifying interdependencies between business resources and supply chains allows an organization to understand which failures will propagate, where single points of failure exist, and how to build resilient continuity plans. Lessons learned (A) are reactive. Containment procedures (B) address incidents already in progress. Staff education (D) addresses human behavior. Only mapping interdependencies proactively enables an organization to anticipate and withstand severe, wide-scale disruption.
