Explanation

Risk transference shifts the financial impact or responsibility of a risk to a third party, typically through a contractual arrangement. Use of insurance (A) is a classic transference tool - the insurer assumes the financial risk in exchange for a premium. Warranties (C) transfer the risk of product defects to the manufacturer or vendor. Performance bonds (D) are financial guarantees where a third party (bonding company) assumes the risk if the contractor fails to perform. Life cycle costing (B) is a cost estimating and economic analysis technique used to evaluate the total cost of ownership of an asset over its entire life - it has nothing to do with transferring risk to another party. It is a financial planning tool, not a risk response strategy.
