Why each option

Sustaining business operations through a complete power outage requires a business continuity plan, which defines how essential functions are maintained during any disruption.

Ahardware maintenance plan

A hardware maintenance plan addresses scheduled upkeep and repair of physical equipment, not the continuation of operations during an unplanned outage.

Bsite recovery plan

A site recovery plan focuses on restoring IT infrastructure and facilities after a disaster, which is a subset of continuity planning and does not cover the full scope of keeping operations running.

Cbusiness continuity planCorrect

A business continuity plan (BCP) documents the processes, resources, and procedures required to keep critical operations running during and after a disaster such as a complete power outage. It is broader than IT recovery alone and must be tested and established before an incident to be effective, which aligns exactly with the requirement stated in the question.

Dincident response plan

An incident response plan governs the detection, containment, and remediation of security incidents and does not address operational continuity during power or infrastructure failures.
