Option C is the way to go. Reminds me of the time I tried to be the sole database expert on a team - it was like trying to herd cats with one hand tied behind my back!

I'd have to go with Option C as well. Hiring a new DBA as a replacement (Option A) might take too long, and the team needs the help now.

I agree, Option A might take too long and the team needs help immediately. Bringing in another DBA is the most practical solution.

I'm not sure about Option B. Moving the DBA to another team doesn't really solve the problem, it just spreads the risk across multiple teams.

I agree with Martina. This is a critical risk, and adding another DBA is the most effective way to mitigate it. Option D could work, but it might not be enough.
