An incident is a service interruption resolved by the use of self-help tools (Option D). In the context of IT service management, an incident refers to any unplanned event or interruption that causes or may cause a disruption to a service. It could be an unexpected system failure, software error, network outage, or any other event that impacts the normal functioning of a service. Incidents are typically reported by users or detected through monitoring systems. The primary objective of incident management is to restore normal service operation as quickly as possible, minimizing the impact on users and the business. Self-help tools, such as knowledge bases or automated troubleshooting guides, are often utilized to assist users in resolving incidents without the need for direct intervention from support staff.
