The correct answer is A. Use hardware already at an offsite location and configure it to be quickly utilized. This describes a warm site - a pre-configured offsite location with hardware ready to be brought online quickly, balancing cost and recovery time. A hot site (99.99% availability) is too expensive.

Explanation
This describes a warm site - a pre-configured offsite location with hardware ready to be brought online quickly, balancing cost and recovery time. A hot site (99.99% availability) is too expensive. Option B (moving to another part of the same campus) doesn't protect against a site-wide disaster. Option C (virtual environment on the main campus) still risks total loss if the campus is destroyed. Option D (only moving data offsite but keeping hardware on-site) still loses hardware in a disaster. A warm site is the cost-effective middle ground.
