Which of the following availability management activities is/are considered to be proactive as opposed to reactive? 1. Monitoring system availability 2. Designing availability into a proposed solution

This is incorrect because activity 2 - designing availability into a solution - is clearly a proactive activity.

Monitoring (activity 1) is reactive because it responds to current or existing conditions rather than preventing future ones.

Monitoring system availability (activity 1) is a reactive activity - it observes what is happening rather than preventing failures before they occur.

Designing availability into a proposed solution is a proactive activity because it anticipates future requirements and builds availability in before the service goes live. Proactive availability management involves planning, designing, and implementing measures in advance to prevent failures. Monitoring system availability, by contrast, is reactive - it detects and responds to availability issues after the service is operational.
