Why each option

A Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) contains specific technical IT recovery procedures, such as step-by-step server rebuild instructions at an alternate recovery site.

A"Instructions for notification of the media can be found in Appendix A"

Media notification instructions belong in a Crisis Communications Plan or the communications annex of a Business Continuity Plan, not in a DRP which focuses on technical IT recovery procedures.

B"The Emergency Response Plan should be executed in the case of any physical disaster listed on

Instructions for executing an Emergency Response Plan belong in the Emergency Response Plan itself or a BCP, not in the IT-focused Disaster Recovery Plan.

C"The target for restoration of business operations is 72 hours from the declaration of disaster."

A 72-hour restoration target for 'business operations' is a Recovery Time Objective (RTO) typically documented in a Business Continuity Plan, which addresses broader operational continuity beyond just IT systems.

D"After arriving at the alternate site, utilize the server build checklist to rebuild all servers on theCorrect

A DRP focuses on the technical procedures required to restore IT infrastructure after a disaster, including detailed checklists for rebuilding servers at an alternate recovery site. Option D describes a specific, actionable IT recovery task - using a server build checklist at an alternate site - which is the hallmark of DRP content. This level of technical procedural detail distinguishes a DRP from higher-level plans like a BCP or Emergency Response Plan.
