Since the maximum acceptable loss of data in the event of a system failure is 40,000 transactions and the accounting department records an average of 10,000 transactions per hour, the recovery point objective would be to recover data up to 4 hours prior to the system failure, which is equivalent to a loss of 40,000 transactions (10,000 x 4). Therefore, the best choice is D) 4 hours.
