Related to information security, availability is the opposite of which of the following?

A.
delegation

B.
distribution

C.
documentation

D.
destruction

Explanation:
Availability ensures reliability and timely access to data and resources to authorized individuals. Network
devices, computers, and applications should provide adequate functionality to perform in a predictable manner
with an acceptable level of performance. They should be able to recover from disruptions in a secure and quick
fashion so productivity is not negatively affected. Necessary protection mechanisms must be in place to protect
against inside and outside threats that could affect the availability and productivity of all business-processing
components.
The opposite of availability is destruction. The destruction of data makes it unavailable.
Incorrect Answers:
A: Delegation is not the opposite of availability.
B: Distribution is not the opposite of availability.
C: Documentation is not the opposite of availability.
