Question
Della works as a security manager for SoftTech Inc. She is training some of the newly recruited personnel in the field of security management. She is giving a tutorial on DRP.

Explanation
A Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) serves several objectives beyond its primary goal of providing an organized decision-making framework during disruptions: (A) protecting the organization from major computer services failure by having recovery procedures in place; (B) minimizing the risk from delays in restoring services, thereby reducing financial and operational impact; and (C) guaranteeing the reliability of standby systems through regular testing and simulation exercises. Option D is incorrect because a well-designed DRP aims to MINIMIZE the decision-making burden on personnel during a disaster by pre-defining procedures - not maximize it. Maximizing required decisions would increase chaos and response time.
