A.

B.

C.
It provides a false sense of security.
D.

Explanation:
Remember this is a NOT question. Hot sites do not provide a false sense of security since they are the best
disaster recovery alternate for backup site that you rent. A Cold, Warm, and Hot site is always a rental place in
the context of the CBK. This is definitely the best choices out of the rental options that exists. It is fully
configured and can be activated in a very short period of time. Cold and Warm sites, not hot sites, provide a
false sense of security because you can never fully test your plan. In reality, using a cold site will most likely
make effective recovery impossible or could lead to business closure if it takes more than two weeks for
recovery.
