Why each option
RAID provides hardware-level fault tolerance by using redundant disk configurations and can be implemented using existing drives with no additional budget beyond the server itself.
Hardware load balancing requires dedicated appliances or additional hardware that would exceed a zero budget.
RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) allows a server to continue operating even when one or more drives fail, depending on the RAID level configured. It is a software or hardware feature that can often be enabled within existing infrastructure at no additional cost. Unlike other options, RAID directly addresses hardware failure at the disk level without requiring external resources or budget.
A cold site is a disaster recovery facility that requires leasing or building a secondary location, incurring significant cost.
A host standby requires a duplicate spare server to be purchased and maintained, which requires budget.
