Thank you for this feedback. Upon further review, you are correct. The right answer is D - Identifying the scope and impact of the incident. Before any containment, notification, or evidence gathering can occur, it is essential to understand the scope and impact of the incident as this assessment allows the organization to prioritize the response, determine the resources needed, and decide on the most effective containment strategy.
There has been several arguments as to the classification of this type of threat. When it is caused by environmental factors like storms and natural disasters, it could be classified as a natural threat. If the loss affects IT systems' operations, it could be linked to a system threat. However, upon a second review, I agree with you that it is a man-made disaster as it can occur due to infrastructure issues, grid failures or human actions or sabotage.
