Answer: D
A walk-through test is an exercise, to verify the existence
of all necessary procedures and actions specified within the
recovery plan. A preparedness test is the smallest set
(component) of instructions within the recovery plan that
enables specific processes to be performed. A module is a
combination of components. The full test verifies that each
component within every module is workable and satisfies the
strategy and recovery time objective requirement detailed in
the recovery plan.
