CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 610

Which of the following would be the best way to test resiliency in the event of a primary power failure?

Answer options

• A. Parallel processing
• B. Tabletop exercise
• C. Simulation testing
• D. Production failover

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer, D (Production failover), is the best method as it involves switching operations to a backup system, demonstrating real-time resilience. Options A (Parallel processing) and C (Simulation testing) do not effectively mimic the actual conditions of a power failure, while B (Tabletop exercise) is more of a theoretical discussion and lacks practical application.
