Explanation

A Criticality Survey is not distributed to all personnel involved in recovery. Its purpose is to gather input from key business unit managers and stakeholders who understand which systems and processes are critical to operations. Surveying all recovery personnel would introduce noise and is not the survey's intent. The remaining options (B, C, D) are correct: the purpose must be clearly stated, management approval is required before distribution, and the goal is to identify critical services and systems.
