Selected Answer: B
Unannounced disaster recovery exercises are designed to test the readiness and response of personnel to an unexpected disaster or disruption. By conducting the exercise without prior notification, organizations can assess the effectiveness of their disaster recovery plans, the ability of personnel to react promptly and appropriately, and the overall resilience of the organization's systems and processes in the face of unexpected events. While aspects like providing metrics to senior management (option A), assessing service level agreements (SLAs) (option C), and estimating the recovery time objective (RTO) (option D) may be secondary benefits, the primary focus is on evaluating personnel responses and the practical effectiveness of the disaster recovery plans during unanticipated scenarios.

Because RTO is not estimated through DR exercise (announced or unannounced). RTO is established/estimated during BIA phase.
