b. dependency objective
c. recovery time objective
d. training objective

Answer 1

c. recovery time objective

Step-by-step explanation:

• Recovery time objective (RTO) is the maximum acceptable duration permitted between an unfortunate loss or failure and the restoration of normal operations and services.

• According to the RTO, the systems, applications or operations must be restored within a targeted time period after a disaster, to avoid unacceptable outcomes of the disruption.

• So a business process must be recovered within this period of time.

• It measures how much a failure affects the normal operations, applications and systems and RTO is measures in time units like seconds minutes hours or days.
• In simple words RTO refers to the time you need to restore system, applications and data.

• For instance a 2-hour RTO refers to restore and get operations or services back to running within 2 hours of the service failure or outrage.
