Explanation

A hot site is the most fully equipped disaster recovery backup facility: (A) It can typically be operational within an hour because it is fully configured with up-to-date hardware, software, and data, requiring minimal setup time. (D) It is a near-exact duplicate of the original site, with full computer systems, network infrastructure, and near-complete or real-time data replication. Option B is false - hot sites are the most expensive type of backup site, not cheaper than cold sites. Option C is also false - cold sites are the least expensive (they provide only the physical space and basic utilities, with no pre-installed equipment). The cost hierarchy is: Hot site (most expensive) > Warm site > Cold site (least expensive).
