Ans: B (the communication lead CAN'T delegate) When disaster strikes, the person who declares the incident typically steps into the IC role and directs the high-level state of the incident. The IC concentrates on the 3Cs and does the following: Commands and coordinates the incident response, delegating roles as needed. By default, the IC assumes all roles that have not been delegated yet. Communicates effectively. Stays in control of the incident response. Works with other responders to resolve the incident. https://sre.google/workbook/incident-response/

Selected Answer: B
The best option for efficiently providing updates to everyone affected by the outage would be: B. Provide periodic updates to all stakeholders in a timely manner. Commit to a "next update" time in all communications. During an incident, it's important to keep all stakeholders informed about the current situation and any progress made towards resolving the problem. Providing periodic updates to all stakeholders, including internal stakeholders and customers, is the most effective way of ensuring everyone is informed. Additionally, by committing to a "next update" time in all communications, you ensure that stakeholders are aware of when they can expect to receive new information. This way you can avoid the unnecessary pressure of responding to emails constantly, and you can focus on the incident resolution and providing accurate information.

B was my first answer, but turns out that CL can delegate, according to SRE workbook (https://sre.google/workbook/incident-response/): "Both the CL and OL may lead a team of people to help manage their specific areas of incident response. These teams can expand or contract as needed. If the incident becomes small enough, the CL role can be subsumed back into the IC role." In that case, taking into account that this is a major incidente, C seems to be the most accurate answer.

B is correct C is wrong. If CL want to delegate, s/he must talk with IC that we need another internal CL. IC will delegate if needed.
