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
✓
Warm site
Option A is correct because a warm site provides pre-installed hardware and network infrastructure, along with data backups that can be loaded and activated within a day. Hot sites offer immediate failover but are more expensive and not necessary here. Cold sites are empty space and take weeks. An alternate processing site is a vague term.
