CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 204

Which of the following BEST measures how much downtime an organization can tolerate during an unplanned outage?

Answer options

• A. SLA
• B. BIA
• C. RTO
• D. MTTR

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is RTO (Recovery Time Objective), as it specifically defines the maximum acceptable downtime for a system after an unplanned incident. SLA (Service Level Agreement) outlines expected service levels but does not directly measure downtime tolerance. BIA (Business Impact Analysis) helps identify critical functions but does not quantify downtime, while MTTR (Mean Time to Repair) focuses on the average time to resolve issues rather than the acceptable downtime threshold.
