CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 280

Which of the following identifies the point in time when an organization will recover data in the event of an outage?

Answer options

• A. ALE
• B. RPO
• C. MTBF
• D. ARO

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The Recovery Point Objective (RPO) is the correct answer because it defines the maximum acceptable amount of data loss measured in time. The other options, such as ALE (Annual Loss Expectancy), MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures), and ARO (Annual Rate of Occurrence), do not relate specifically to data recovery timing.
