B.
Hot

C.

D.
Warm

Explanation:
Answer D is correct; A warm site is a data center with raised floor, power, utilities, computer peripherals, and fully configured computers; requiring 24-72 hours to become fully operational.

Incorrect Answers and Explanations: A, B, and C: Answers A, B, and C are incorrect. A cold site has basic physical and environmental controls, but no computer systems. It normally takes at a week or more to make fully operational. A hot site is a data center with a raised floor, power, utilities, computer peripherals, and fully configured computers. Ahot site takes hours to become fully operational, and is the second-most expensive option. A redundant site is an exact production duplicate of a system that has the capability to seamlessly operate all necessary IT operations, and is themost expensive option.
