Selected Answer: B
B. Needs of the organization. Triggers in a BCP are specific events or conditions that signal the need to activate the plan and initiate the recovery and continuity measures. These triggers are based on the unique needs and circumstances of the organization, which can vary widely depending on its operations, location, industry, and other factors. The triggers should align with the organization's risk assessment and business impact analysis to ensure that the plan is activated when it's most needed

Selected Answer: B
The answer is B. Needs of the organization as this is the only answer that is flexible enough account for any type of event. Rationale A. Disaster recovery plan (DRP) is incorrect cause DRP is a subset of BCP. Saying that DRP will trigger a BCP is recursive logic. C. Information security policy is incorrect cause a policy states a broad-level objective, but doesn't provide prescriptive guidance only descriptive. D. Gap analysis - this is the difference between a current and future state which is not relevant for this question.
