I’m confused about this one. I thought melted backup tapes were indirect too, but they were still part of the direct loss from the fire, weren’t they?

I’m leaning towards option D as well. It seems like the water damage is a consequence of the fire response, which makes it indirect.

I remember a practice question where we discussed direct vs. indirect damage. I feel like burned documents would be considered direct damage, right?

I think indirect damage could be something like water damage from the fire extinguishers, but I'm not entirely sure.
