Which of the following disaster recovery tests is the most intrusive to business
operations?

C.
Full-interruption
D.

Explanation:
Full-interruption tests require the original site to be completely
shut down and all processes moved to an alternate site. This can be very disruptive
to a company, but is the only way to really know the disaster recovery plan will
work when it is needed.
A Full Interruption Test is an exercise which all recovery procedures and strategy are tested. It actually replicates a disaster by halting production.
Full interruption will stop all service of the operation.
