D.

The Answer Is:
A
This question includes an explanation.
Explanation:
The greatest risk of using a reciprocal site for disaster recovery is the inability to utilize the site when required. A reciprocal site is an agreement between two organizations to provide backup facilities for each other in case of a disaster. However, this arrangement may not be reliable or enforceable, especially if both organizations are affected by the same disaster or have conflicting priorities. Therefore,the IS auditor should recommend that management consider alternative options for disaster recovery, such as dedicated sites or cloud services12. References:
