Explanation

Avoid is a negative risk (threat) response strategy that eliminates the threat entirely by removing its cause. Removing a high-risk scope element-such as cutting a technically risky feature-is a classic example of avoidance because it eliminates the possibility of the risk occurring. Transfer (A) shifts the financial impact to a third party (e.g., insurance, contracting) but does not remove the scope. Exploit (C) is a positive risk (opportunity) strategy, not applicable to threats. Accept (D) means acknowledging the risk and either setting aside contingency reserves or doing nothing, but the risk and the scope remain.
