Why each option
Succession planning involves defining roles, responsibilities, and chain of command so operations can continue when key personnel are unavailable during a disaster.
Fault tolerance refers to a system's ability to continue operating when a component fails, not to organizational role definitions.
Succession planning specifically addresses who assumes authority and responsibility when primary personnel are unavailable, which is exactly what a published chart of roles, responsibilities, and chain of command during a disaster represents. It ensures organizational continuity by pre-defining leadership transitions and accountability structures before a crisis occurs.
Business continuity testing is the process of exercising and validating a continuity plan, not the act of establishing the command structure itself.
Recovery point objectives define the maximum acceptable data loss measured in time, not organizational hierarchy or role assignments.
