Explanation
A cold site is a basic recovery facility that provides only the physical space and infrastructure (power, cooling, network connectivity) but has no pre-installed hardware or software. Because equipment must be procured, shipped, installed, and configured after a disaster, cold sites typically take days or even weeks to become operational. Therefore, 'Quick Recovery' is NOT a benefit - it is actually the primary drawback of cold sites. The genuine benefits are low cost (A), the existence of a secondary physical location (C), and no resource contention with other organizations since it is dedicated to a single tenant (A). Compare this to hot sites, which are fully operational and enable rapid recovery.
