Selected Answer: D
This is a typical BAD and irresponsible question of ISACA CISA, "C" refers a bad timing for testing and "could" influence the business severely. While the "D", "unreadable" may mean either "recovery is failed" or "the privilege is temporary missing ". The correct answer should depend on the exact situation of "C" and "D". In an other word, the answer depends on what the question auditor's thought , which is very very irresponsible. If we see "unreadable" means "the test is failed" and "D"'s influence is not very significantly recognized , I would choose D, not C.

Selected Answer: C
Testing a disaster recovery plan during critical business hours introduces a significant risk of disrupting normal business operations. The purpose of disaster recovery testing is to ensure that the plan is effective in a real-world scenario without causing harm to the ongoing business activities. Testing during critical hours can impact service availability, customer satisfaction, and overall business continuity.
