Which term describes a strategy that ensures processing redundancy to support workflow during disruptions?

• A. Capacity planning
• B. Fault tolerant
• C. Redundancy
• D. COOP

Answer: (B)

Fault tolerance is the design approach that keeps systems processing even when parts fail, by using redundancy, error detection, and automatic failover. This means the workflow can continue with little to no interruption during disruptions, which is exactly what the question describes. Capacity planning is about ensuring enough resources to meet demand, but it doesn’t guarantee continued processing when failures occur. Redundancy refers to duplicating components or paths, which is a key part of fault tolerance, but on its own it doesn’t specify the operational mechanisms that keep processing going automatically. COOP (Continuity of Operations Plan) focuses on organizational procedures to continue essential functions during large-scale disruptions, not the technical strategy that maintains processing continuity.
