The cost of ongoing operations when a disaster recovery plan is in place, compared to not having a disaster recovery plan, will MOST likely:

A. increase.

B. decrease.

C. remain the same.

D. be unpredictable.

Explanation:

Due to the additional cost of disaster recovery planning (DRP) measures, the cost of normal operations for any organization will always increase after a DRP implementation, i.e., the cost of normal operations during a nondisaster period will be more than the cost of operations during a nondisaster period when no disaster recovery plan was in place.
