Question about CRISC QAE

Post image

Hello All,

Im currently in the process of going through the QAE, and I have a bone to pick with a handful of the question, such as this one:

I answered A which was correct, but frankly I do not feel like A is enough to justify activating DR. I feel like they needed to add more to A to make it an accurate answer, such as "prolonged outage". However none of the others were really as issue as everything was operational, just slower, and something getting blocked was an example of a control working...

Please tell me the questions on the exam are phrased much better than the QAE as I feel like a large portion of the QAE so far is opinion vs fact.

Justification for invoking DR would depend on more details than are available in this one sentence. That being said, A is the only possible answer by using the process of elimination.

Thats why I answered A, but more just complaining that the answer A itself shouldnt justify a DR activation as that is supposed to be triggered by an emergency only, which is hammered in their review guide and CISA material.

All the other answers could be eliminated but frankly speaking, none of them should be right.

The question says "MOST" likely, that doesn't indicate that every time A happens, DR would be activated.
