Explanation

Statement D is incorrect because when returning operations from the alternate site back to the primary site, the LEAST critical applications should be moved first - not the most critical ones. This ensures that the most critical business functions continue running at the alternate site during the transition period, minimizing risk and service disruption. Once the least critical systems are confirmed working on the primary site, progressively more critical systems are migrated back. Statements A, B, and C are all correct: the recovery team restores critical functions at the alternate site, the salvage team restores the primary site, and the DRP must include the return process.
