Answer: Option (b) is correct.

In the following scenario Chief Information Officer is perturbed because the agreement does not include a strategy (long-term) for extended outages. Therefore, in such case the CIO should complete Business continuity plan.

Business continuity planning can be referred to as the technique which is responsible for creating a structure of thwarting and recuperation from potential threats to a organization.

The plan assure that work force and assets are secured and can function rapidly at times of a disaster. The plan is usually apprehended in advance and includes input from stakeholders.
