A for me as well. Knowing MTD (time you have in case of failure) you can consider what tech, systems, procedures etc you can introduce to the company

Selected Answer: A
While demonstrating commitment to continuity recovery efforts, sound business practices, and compliance with regulatory bodies are also important, they are not directly related to the communication of MTD decisions.

It is A. MTD is the threshold when the business after it is doomed. There is no point to show anyone that senior management take business seriously, the most important is that there are sufficient alternatives to make business going in case of a disaster so the business is not lost.

Why it select the answer A?? It does not make sense. The manager has the right to determine the selection of the recovery alternative???? Please tell me which company manager has such this right. Is it the manager = senior management??

It seems that D is the best match, as it is the only one referencing business continuity: https://www.agilityrecovery.com/business-continuity-management-glossary

Selected Answer: A
The correct answer is A. It is important that senior management clearly communicates the formal Maximum Tolerable Downtime (MTD) decision to provide each manager with precise direction on selecting an appropriate recovery alternative. This ensures that everyone in the organization is aware of the expected downtime and can plan accordingly to minimize the impact on the business. It is also important to demonstrate to regulatory bodies that the company takes business continuity seriously, but that is not the primary reason for communicating the MTD decision.

BTW, option D will lead to increase business reputation if the organization get complied with regulation (e.g. ISO standards). But I am not sure if D is the answer.

I do not think the managers will have independent DR toolsets. D should right (PS: amazed at how many answers default answers do not make sense)

A looks more appropriate as that is the essence of disaster recovery metrics in the first place.
