Which of the following is the MOST reasonable option for recovering a noncritical system?

A.
Warm site

B.
Mobile site

C.
Hot site

D.
Cold site

Explanation:

Generally a cold site is contracted for a longer period at a lower cost. Since it requires more time to
make a cold site operational, it is generally used for noncritical applications. A warm site is generally
available at a medium cost, requires less time to become operational and is suitable for sensitive
operations. A mobile site is a vehicle ready with all necessary computer equipment that can be
moved to any cold or warm site depending upon the need. The need for a mobile site depends
uponthe scale of operations. A hot site is contracted for a shorter time period at a higher cost and is
better suited for recovery of vital and critical applications.
