Is there a word to describe the next level of action? I know there is but I can't remember the word.
For example, if plan A fails, plan B is the next level of action to take. And if plan B fails, the next level of action to take is plan C.
So in this case, plan B is a what of plan A, and plan C is a what of plan B. The what is the word I'm trying to find.

The phrase "contingency plan" comes to mind first, for me. "Fallback" is another term you might find useful.
