I feel like increasing output to normal levels is part of the recovery process, but it seems more like a result than the main purpose of the plan.

I might be mixing things up, but I recall that a Disaster Recovery Plan is supposed to help return to business as usual, which sounds like option C.

I remember practicing a question about emergency responses, and I feel like the focus should also be on people's safety, so maybe option B is relevant too?

I think the main goal of a Disaster Recovery Plan is to get critical systems operational again, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the only purpose.

The key here is that a Disaster Recovery Plan is about more than just technical systems - it's also about the overall business continuity and getting back to normal operations. I'd say the best answer is C, to return to business as usual.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I know a Disaster Recovery Plan is supposed to help a business recover, but I'm not sure if it's just about getting systems back up or if it's also about people's safety and returning to normal operations. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I feel pretty confident that the main purpose of a Disaster Recovery Plan is to get critical systems back up and running after an emergency or disaster. That's the core of what these plans are designed to do, even if they also address other aspects of recovery.
