DRP development begins with BIA, prioritization, strategy selection, documentation, and testing.

Answer analysis

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

✓
Business Impact Analysis (BIA), Prioritize critical functions, Select recovery strategy, Document the plan, Test the plan
Why this is correct
This is the correct order because a DRP must first assess impact (BIA), then prioritize based on that, choose a strategy, document procedures, and finally validate through testing.
✗
Document the plan, Business Impact Analysis (BIA), Prioritize critical functions, Select recovery strategy, Test the plan
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because documentation should come after analysis and strategy selection, not before. Starting with documentation without understanding impacts leads to an ineffective plan.
✗
Select recovery strategy, Business Impact Analysis (BIA), Prioritize critical functions, Document the plan, Test the plan
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because a recovery strategy cannot be selected without first performing a BIA and prioritizing functions. The strategy must align with the identified critical needs.
✗
Business Impact Analysis (BIA), Select recovery strategy, Prioritize critical functions, Test the plan, Document the plan
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because prioritization should follow BIA, not after strategy selection. Also, testing occurs after documentation, not before. The sequence disrupts logical flow.
