Explanation

It is incorrect that every employee should receive a copy of the IT contingency plan. Contingency plans often contain sensitive information about system architecture, recovery procedures, and organizational vulnerabilities that could be exploited if widely distributed. Distribution should be limited to personnel with a direct role in executing the plan (e.g., recovery teams, key decision-makers). Copies stored offline at home by recovery personnel (option D) are appropriate for designated staff. Annual review, strict version control, and controlled distribution are all correct best practices for contingency plan maintenance.
