Why each option

Transference is a risk management strategy where the financial impact or responsibility of a risk is shifted to a third party, often through mechanisms like insurance.

ATransferenceCorrect

Risk transference involves shifting the burden of risk to another entity, and purchasing insurance is a prime example of this strategy. By paying premiums, an organization transfers the financial consequences of certain potential losses to the insurance company.

BAvoidance

Risk avoidance means eliminating the risk entirely by ceasing the activity that gives rise to the risk.

CAcceptance

Risk acceptance involves acknowledging a risk and deciding to take no action to reduce or eliminate it, typically because the cost of mitigation outweighs the potential impact.

DMitigation

Risk mitigation involves taking steps to reduce the likelihood or impact of a risk event.
