I think B seems correct

If the test involves creating a downtime scenario and taking the necessary steps, then the administrator is performing a real-world test, as opposed to a hypothetical or discussion-based test. The correct answer is: D. Live failover. Explanation: Live failover involves actively switching operations to a disaster recovery site to see if the process works in real-world conditions. It's the most comprehensive test but can be disruptive. Backup recovery is simply the process of restoring data from backups to ensure that the backup system works. Simulated testing might involve some technical steps but doesn't typically involve actual downtime or live failover. Tabletop is a discussion-based scenario where team members walk through the plan and discuss actions in a hypothetical disaster situation without actual technical steps being taken.

From Chat GPT: A live failover in a disaster recovery plan involves the actual activation of a secondary system or site that takes over the operations and functions of the primary system that has failed. This can involve redirecting traffic, rerouting data, and ensuring business continuity. A simulation in a disaster recovery plan involves testing the various systems, processes, and procedures involved in the disaster recovery plan without actually activating the disaster recovery plan itself. This can involve creating scenarios and testing how different personnel and systems respond to them. A tabletop exercise in a disaster recovery plan involves a discussion-based simulation where team members review and discuss the disaster recovery plan in a classroom-style setting. This can be used to identify gaps and potential risks and make improvements to the plan. Overall, live failover involves actual implementation of disaster recovery plan, simulation involves testing without actual implementation of disaster recovery plan and tabletop exercise involves a discussion-based simulation that helps to identify potential risks and improve the plan.

I believe C is correct. The "Simulation" (answer B) aka "Scenario" would occur within the tabletop exercise. I hate this question "https://gbq.com/the-benefits-of-conducting-tabletop-testing/"

In a tabletop test, participants walk through plan activities step by step to demonstrate whether DR team members know their duties in an emergency. A simulation test uses resources such as recovery sites and backup systems in what is essentially a full-scale test without an actual failover. https://www.techtarget.com/searchdisasterrecovery/definition/disaster-recovery-plan

A tabletop discussion is a discussion with various heads of depts to create a DRP. A simulated tabletop would be going through step by step that which has already been created to test.
