CompTIA CASP+ (CAS-004) — Question 602

Which of the following indicates when a company might not be viable after a disaster?

Answer options

• A. Maximum tolerable downtime
• B. Recovery time objective
• C. Mean time to recovery
• D. Annual loss expectancy

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, Maximum tolerable downtime, defines the longest period a business can be non-operational before it ceases to exist. In contrast, Recovery time objective focuses on the target time to restore operations, Mean time to recovery measures the average time to recover from failures, and Annual loss expectancy estimates potential losses, but none indicate immediate viability post-disaster.
