Why each option
A structured walk-through involves team members meeting on site to review the disaster recovery plan step by step, without activating or disrupting production systems.
A structured walk-through is a disaster recovery test in which key personnel gather - often on site - to review the plan in detail, discuss their roles, and identify gaps or inconsistencies. The scenario describes Ann gathering team members for an on-site meeting to go through specifics, which precisely matches this test type. It does not involve actually activating recovery systems, distinguishing it from more disruptive test types.
A full interruption test involves actually shutting down primary systems and failing over to the recovery site, which is far more disruptive than an on-site planning meeting.
A checklist test is an individual review where team members independently verify their assigned tasks against a checklist, not a group meeting to discuss plan specifics.
A tabletop exercise is a discussion-based scenario simulation, but it does not typically involve structured on-site assembly to walk through plan specifics in the same procedural way.
