Answer: D
Business management should know which systems are critical
and when they need to process well in advance of a disaster.
It is their responsibility to develop and maintain the plan.
Adequate time will not be available for this determination
once the disaster occurs. IS and the information processing
facility are service organizations that exist for the
purpose of assisting the general user management in
successfully performing their jobs.
