Explanation

Business continuity (B) is correct because the scenario explicitly prioritizes uptime and minimizing outage impact - which is the definition of business continuity: ensuring critical operations keep running through disruptions, disasters, or failures.

• A (ROI) is a financial metric for evaluating investments, not a strategy for maintaining uptime - it's a business justification tool, not an operational priority.
• C (Capacity planning) ensures you have enough resources to meet demand, but it doesn't address what happens when systems fail - it's proactive scaling, not resilience.
• D (Service visualization) refers to monitoring or mapping services, which supports operations but isn't itself a strategy for preventing or recovering from outages.

Memory tip: When a scenario mentions "uptime," "outage," or "cannot afford downtime," think BC = Business Continuity = Keep the business running. The word continuity literally means "never stopping."
