Wait, is it really just about disruptions? Sounds too simple.

I’m a bit confused; I thought documenting the policy was part of the BIA process, but now I’m leaning towards option B being the primary objective.

I feel like establishing roles is important too, but that might be more about the overall BCMS rather than the BIA specifically.

I think the main goal of a BIA is to identify how disruptions affect critical operations, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the only focus.

I'm a bit confused on the difference between a BIA and the overall BCMS. Is the BIA just about establishing roles and responsibilities, or is there more to it? I'll have to review my notes on this.

Okay, I've got this. The BIA is focused on understanding the potential impacts of disruptions, so the right answer has to be option B. I feel confident about that.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know a BIA is part of a BCMS, but I can't quite remember the specific objective. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Hold up, is this a trick question? I mean, who doesn't love a good business continuity policy? But B) is probably the way to go, unless you're a secret policy buff.
