It should be A - A succession plan is a process for identifying and developing internal staff who have the potential to fill key leadership positions in the organization. With a succession plan, the organization can identify the necessary skills and knowledge needed to ensure business continuity, and can develop or hire talent to fill these roles.

Succession planning is crucial for ensuring continuity and mitigating the risks associated with the departure of key personnel. By developing a succession plan, the organization can identify and groom potential successors for key roles, ensuring that there are individuals ready to step in and fill critical positions when the current staff retire.

But C is better because that helps with eliminating costs of recruitment and training. You try to get internal candidates to fill those spots, then look at a succession plan if needed.
