Explanation

An Incident Response Plan (IRP) specifically addresses how an organization detects, contains, eradicates, and recovers from cyber attacks and security incidents targeting IT systems. A Business Continuity Plan (BCP) focuses on keeping business operations running during any type of disruption. A Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) focuses on maintaining essential government or organizational functions. A Continuity of Support Plan addresses maintaining IT support for critical systems, but is not cyber-attack-specific. The IRP is the plan explicitly scoped to cybersecurity incidents.
