Guys, does this mean "senior management support/buy-in" is the magic "catch-all, always correct" answer on CISM exam? I don't think so. Hence going with C.

I am wondering whether C is not correct. You need to have a defined classification on incidents to know how to respond to them. I am between C and D.

D. Senior management support Effective incident response requires support and commitment from senior management. They play a crucial role in allocating resources, setting priorities, and ensuring that the incident response plan is integrated into the organization's overall strategy. Without senior management support, it can be challenging to implement and execute an effective incident response plan, even if you have other elements like a business continuity plan, cost-benefit analysis, or a classification scheme in place.

D. Senior management support is essential to ensuring effective incident response. While the other options may also be important in different contexts, having the support and involvement of senior management is crucial in order to allocate resources, establish policies and procedures, and empower the incident response team to take appropriate actions. Without senior management support, it can be difficult to implement an effective incident response plan and address security incidents in a timely and efficient manner.
