An IS Auditor discovers that an information processing facility's business continuity plan provides for an alternate processing site which will accommodate fifty percent of the primary processing facility's processing capability. Based on this discovery, which of the following actions should the IS auditor take?

C. Ensure that critical applications have been identified and that the alternate site could process all such applications.
D. Recommend that the information processing facility arrange for an alternate processing site with the capacity to handle at least seventy-five percent of normal processing.
