Why each option

A hot site is a fully operational, duplicate data center kept ready for immediate failover, which directly supports the availability pillar of the CIA triad.

AConfidentiality

Confidentiality protects data from unauthorized disclosure and is not the purpose of maintaining a geographically separate failover facility.

BAvailabilityCorrect

Availability ensures that systems and data are accessible to authorized users when needed. A hot site maintains live, replicated infrastructure so that if the primary site fails, operations can shift immediately with minimal or no downtime, directly fulfilling the availability requirement for business continuity.

CSuccession planning

Succession planning addresses personnel continuity and leadership transitions, not infrastructure redundancy.

DIntegrity

Integrity ensures data is accurate and unaltered, which is not the function of a hot site disaster recovery facility.
