Why each option

The question describes a scenario requiring a risk response strategy where 'avoidance' means changing the project plan to eliminate the threat entirely.

AThis area of the United States is prone to hurricanes during certain parts of the year. As part of the

This choice appears to be a partial sentence that sets up a scenario, not a risk response strategy itself.

BMitigation

Mitigation aims to reduce the probability or impact of a risk, not eliminate it entirely.

CAvoidanceCorrect

Risk avoidance involves changing the project plan to eliminate the threat entirely, often by choosing an alternative approach or scope. If the incomplete question implies Sam must avoid a hurricane risk, changing project location or timing would be an avoidance strategy.

DPassive acceptance

Passive acceptance means doing nothing to avoid or mitigate the risk, simply accepting its potential impact without planning.

EActive acceptance

Active acceptance involves developing a contingency plan in case the risk occurs, but not trying to prevent it.
