Why each option
Restoring normal service operation as quickly as possible is the primary objective of incident management, not problem management.
Minimizing the impact of incidents that cannot be prevented is explicitly one of the three stated objectives of problem management in ITIL.
Preventing problems and resulting incidents is a core problem management objective, achieved through proactive problem management activities such as trend analysis.
Eliminating recurring incidents is a key problem management objective, achieved by identifying root causes and implementing permanent fixes known as error control.
Incident management owns the objective of restoring normal service operation as quickly as possible to minimize business impact. Problem management is concerned with root cause analysis and long-term prevention - its three objectives are preventing problems and resulting incidents, eliminating recurring incidents, and minimizing the impact of incidents that cannot be prevented.
