Correct Answer: AD

IT disaster recovery time objectives (RTOs) should be based on the concept of maximum tolerable downtime (MTD). MTD represents the maximum amount of time that an organization can tolerate an IT service or system being unavailable before it causes significant harm to the business. RTOs are set to ensure that recovery occurs within this maximum limit, thereby minimizing potential damages.

Answer should be A. It is based on MTD, RTOs should be based on the MTD because they define the maximum time that a system or service can be down before the organization begins to suffer significant financial, reputational, or operational losses.

Another ISACA question to make everyone confused. RTO is determined by MTD and both are defined based on business-defined criticality of the systems. A and D are correct, this shouldn't be a question because it tests a guess, not a knowledge.
