Answer: A
Of the choices, a backup of compiled object programs is the
most important in a successful recovery. A reciprocal
processing agreement is not as important, because
alternative equipment can be found after a disaster occurs.
A phone contact list may aid in the immediate aftermath, as
would an accessible supply of special forms, but neither is
as important as having access to required programs.
