Periodic testing of restores from backups is crucial for verifying the effectiveness and reliability of the backup and recovery processes. Without regular testing, there is a risk that backups may not be functioning correctly, or that data may not be recoverable in the event of a disaster or data loss incident. Testing restores allows organizations to identify any issues or gaps in the backup and recovery procedures, ensuring that critical data can be restored promptly and accurately when needed.

Having backups in place is only half the battle. If you haven't tested your ability to restore data from those backups, you can't be confident they will work when needed. So, the answer is D

This is because the main purpose of backups is to be able to restore data in case of data loss. If the restore process is not tested regularly, there’s a risk that the backups may not work when they are needed, which could lead to significant data loss and business impact.
