Answer: B
The involvement of user departments in the BCP is crucial
for the identification of the business processing
priorities. The BCP circulation will ensure that the BCP
document is received by all users, though essential, this
does not contribute significantly to the success of the BCP.
A BCP approved by senior management would not ensure the
quality of the BCP, nor would an audit necessarily improve
the quality of the BCP.
