Explanation

In DR planning, a test that reveals zero deficiencies is a red flag about the test itself, not proof of a perfect plan. Real-world environments are complex and plans always have gaps; a well-designed, rigorous test should uncover at least some issues. If nothing is found, the test scope, assumptions, or execution were likely inadequate. DR plans must be updated based on test results (eliminating option B), results should be shared with stakeholders (eliminating option C), and no plan is ever truly 'perfect' (eliminating option D).
