Explanation
Contracting with multiple ISPs for redundant high-speed Internet connections serves two primary purposes: (B) business continuity - if one provider goes out of business or has a prolonged outage, the organization still has Internet connectivity through the other provider; and (C) eliminating a single point of failure - with only one ISP, any outage at that provider takes the company offline. Option A (load balancing for cloud) is a secondary benefit, not the primary recommendation reason. Option D (hot site) refers to a physical disaster recovery facility, not ISP redundancy. Option E is incorrect because additional external ISPs do not improve internal intranet speeds.
