Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Perform a failover to the secondary environment using production data
Performing a failover in a non-production environment validates recovery steps. Monitoring recovery time measures RTO, and verifying data integrity checks RPO.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Perform a failover to the secondary environment using production data
Why this is correct
Using a secondary environment avoids production impact.
- ✗
Terminate production instances to simulate a disaster
Why it's wrong here
Terminating production would affect users.
- ✓
Verify that the recovered data is consistent with the source data at the last replication point
Why this is correct
This validates RPO.
- ✗
Delete all backups to ensure they are not used during the drill
Why it's wrong here
Backups are needed for recovery; deleting them defeats the purpose.
- ✓
Monitor the time taken to complete the failover and recovery
Why this is correct
This measures RTO.
