Answer:

d. Both B and C

Step-by-step explanation:

Business continuity planning and disaster recovery planning main goal is the keeping of a business running in the advent or event of an emergency or interruptions.

Business continuity plan (BCP)

This simply shows the important and essential processes, procedures, and personnel that is to be protected in case of an emergency. It uses the business impact analysis (BIA) to evaluate risks to the organization.

Disaster recovery plan (DRP)

This is simply defined as the known steps and procedures personnel in key departments of an organization must follow in any disaster case within the organization.

Business Continuity Planning has its main focus on sustaining operations and protecting the viability of the business following a disaster and it is a long termed focused. While the Disaster Recovery Planning main goal is to minimize the effects of a disaster and to take the necessary steps to ensure that the resources, personnel and business processes are able to resume operations in a timely manner. Its focus is on immediate aftermath of the disaster and it is a Short Term focused.
