The worst case recovery time objective can be calculated as follows: 
Data loss per minute = 8,000 transactions per hour ÷ 60 minutes = 133.33 transactions per minute. 
Maximum acceptable data loss = 32,000 transactions. 
Therefore, the maximum acceptable recovery time is: 32,000 transactions ÷ 133.33 transactions per minute = 240 minutes or 4 hours. 
However, since the recovery time objective is already 240 minutes, the worst case scenario would be if recovery takes the entire 240 minutes, which would be 4 hours. 
Therefore, the answer is Choice C, 16 hours, is not feasible.
