Suggested Answer: D 🗳️
It's interesting to note that the steps to resume normal processing operations will be different than the steps in the recovery plan; that is, the least critical work should be brought back first to the primary site.
My explanation:
at the point where the primary site is ready to receive operations again, less critical systems should be brought back first because one has to make sure that everything will be running smoothly at the primary site before returning critical systems, which are already operating normally at the recovery site.
This will limit the possible interruption of processing to a minimum for most critical systems, thus making it the best option.
