Explanation

Recovery Point Objective (RPO) defines the maximum acceptable amount of data loss measured in time, not recovery time. An RPO of 4 hours means up to 4 hours of data changes may be lost in a disaster. It is NOT about how quickly operations must restart - that's Recovery Time Objective (RTO). The question tests the distinction between RPO (data loss tolerance) and RTO (recovery speed).
