Answer: C

Explanation:

Cold site

Space and associated infrastructure (e.g., power, telecoms and environmental controls to support IT systems), which will only be installed when disaster recovery (DR) services are activated.

Warm site

Site that’s partially equipped with some of the equipment (e.g., computing hardware and software, and supporting personnel); organizations install additional equipment, computing hardware and software, and supporting personnel when DR services are activated.

Hot site

Fully equipped site with the required equipment, computing hardware/software and supporting personnel; it’s also fully functional and manned on a 24×7 basis so that it’s ready for organizations to operate their IT systems when DR services are activated.
