Explanation

Risk assessment (D) and risk mitigation (B) are two foundational components of any comprehensive risk management process - you must first identify and evaluate risks (assessment), then take action to reduce or eliminate them (mitigation). Options A and C describe poor practices that directly undermine risk management: using outdated tools compromises accuracy, and ignoring minor risks allows small issues to escalate into larger ones. A solid risk management process is proactive and thorough, not selective or negligent.

Memory tip: Think "A.I.M." - Assess the risk, Implement mitigations - the two correct answers map directly to these two steps. If an answer choice describes avoiding or degrading the process (outdated tools, ignoring risks), it's automatically wrong.
