Explanation:
Succession planning outlines those internal to the organization who have the ability to step into positions when they open. By identifying key roles that cannot be left
unfilled and associating internal employees who can step into these roles, you can groom those employees to make sure that they are up to speed when it comes
time for them to fill those positions.
Incorrect Answers:

business processes.
B: Continuity of operations refers to risk management best practices rather than developing a new chain of command as a contingency plan.
C: A business impact analysis is more concerned with evaluating the processes in the organization as it bears on business continuity.
