Explanation
The scenario describes a need to restore services within 48 hours, which aligns with a Warm Site. A warm site has hardware and infrastructure pre-installed and partially configured, but does not run live production data. Server images would be transferred and restored there, achieving recovery within hours to a couple of days. A Cold Site (A) is essentially an empty building or shell with power and connectivity - no hardware is pre-staged, so recovery takes weeks, not 48 hours. A Hot Site (D) is a fully operational mirror of the production environment with real-time data replication, providing near-instant failover - it far exceeds the 48-hour requirement and is more expensive. Load Balancing (B) distributes traffic across multiple live servers for performance and uptime but is not a disaster recovery strategy on its own.
