Answer: C
Sensitive functions are best described as those that can be
performed manually at a tolerable cost for an extended
period of time. Critical functions are those that cannot be
performed unless they are replaced by identical capabilities
and cannot be replaced by manual methods. Vital functions
refer to those that can be performed manually but only for a
brief period of time. This is associated with lower costs of
disruption than critical functions. Noncritical functions
may be interrupted for an extended period of time, at little
or no cost to the company, and require little time or cost
to restore.
