Gotta follow the plan, when stuck, CompTIA always want you to select "follow the plan". Even if following the plan means A, B is more correct because there may be a specific protocol for how it is communicated to the IRT.

I am going also with B. Informing the incident response team is part of the incident response plan.

The network admin is not part of the security team. They don't know what the incident response plan is. All they can do is contact the security team. Then yes, the security team DOES KNOW what the incident response plan is and follow through with it.

Who detected the incident was a system administrator, not a member of the security team. For that reason, I would select option A, so that the entire team then can follow the incident response plan.

Exactly. Incident Response Plan is delegated to the security team. The network administrator probably has no idea what the steps are. The network admin has to do what's best in their stance: contact the security team.

While informing the incident response team is crucial, it is generally part of the larger process of following the incident response plan. = B

Typically only members of the IRT can declare an incident. So if the sys admin can declare the incident, then they can follow the incident response plan as well. So I'll go with B.

Is it A? is it B? the world may never know! We're just gonna have to assume that the Sysadmin is on the incident response team and is trained/qualified to carry out the activities involved in incident response. Thanks CompTIA.
