Explanation
Disaster recovery (DR) in financial data centers does reduce losses caused by disasters, making A (True) correct. DR encompasses backup systems, redundant infrastructure, failover mechanisms, and business continuity plans that allow operations to resume quickly after events like fires, floods, cyberattacks, or hardware failures - directly minimizing downtime and the financial losses that accompany it.
Why B is wrong: Claiming DR has no impact on loss reduction ignores decades of industry practice and regulatory requirements (e.g., FFIEC, SOX) that mandate DR planning specifically because it is proven to limit financial, operational, and reputational damage.
Memory tip: Think of DR as financial insurance - you pay upfront (infrastructure, planning) to dramatically reduce the payout (losses) when disaster strikes. If insurance reduces losses, so does disaster recovery.
