Containment is the phase where the spread or impact of an active incident is limited, not where pre-deployment infrastructure planning decisions are made.

Eradication involves removing the root cause or malicious artifacts of an incident that has already occurred, not pre-deployment planning.

Identification is the phase where an incident is detected and confirmed, not where network design or policy decisions are made.

Preparation is the first phase of the incident handling process, during which organizations establish policies, acquire tools, and set up infrastructure such as cabling and networking. Deciding which cables to use and defining network policy for a new extension are preparatory activities performed before any incident takes place, making this the correct phase.
