Why each option

A cold site is a basic disaster recovery location that provides a space but lacks equipment, power, and connectivity infrastructure, which must be installed before it can become operational.

AHot site

A hot site is fully equipped with hardware, software, and connectivity, ready to be operational almost immediately, thus not requiring new power or cabling runs.

BCold siteCorrect

A cold site is the most basic type of disaster recovery site, providing only a space and basic utilities. It requires the organization to bring in all necessary equipment, establish power, and run network cabling before it can be used for operations, making it the slowest to activate and the type that necessitates power and cabling runs.

CWarm site

A warm site has some equipment and infrastructure in place but may require additional configuration or hardware before full operation, making it more prepared than a cold site.

DFailover site

A failover site is a generic term referring to a site designed to take over operations in a disaster, and while it could be hot or warm, it does not specifically denote a site needing initial power and cabling runs.
