I like C. How can you transfer Risk (Answer A) to 3rd party, this is organization business not 3rd party's ones. You can transfer in case of insurance at a possible high cost even if low probability

How can it be Risk transfer? Is moving On Premises MS office to Office 365 considered risk transfer? Are IaaS, Paas, and SaaS considered risk transfer? I do not think so.

I think moving the services to Third parties, DRaas, IaaS, Paas, and Saas are about business objectives, specialization, and off load the works. In this case, I would focus on specialization and workload. Moving to third party can off load the work, letting the employees focus on the core business, that is the point.

I like D:DRaaS offers several benefits for your infrastructure security, such as cost savings, reliability, and flexibility. Cost savings are achieved by eliminating the need to invest in and maintain expensive hardware, software, and physical space for backup and recovery.

Selected Answer: C
DRaaS requirements and expectations are documented in a service-level agreement (SLA), and the third-party vendor provides failover to a computing environment, either through a contract or on a pay-per-use basis. This would reduce the cost of having a second site
