Answer: B
A preparedness test is performed by each local office/area
to test the adequacy of the preparedness of local operations
for the disaster recovery. A paper test is a structured
walkthrough of the DRP and should be conducted before a
preparedness test. A full operational test is conducted
after the paper and preparedness test. A regression test is
not a DRP test and is used in software maintenance.
