Explanation

Exploiting is correct because it means taking deliberate action to ensure an opportunity definitely occurs - eliminating the uncertainty around it. Discovering a profitable byproduct and actively seizing it to guarantee profit is a textbook exploit response: the organization is not hoping the benefit materializes, it is making it happen on purpose.

Enhancing (A) is wrong because enhancing only increases the probability or impact of an opportunity rather than locking it in entirely - it's the "boost the odds" strategy, not the "guarantee it" strategy.

Positive (B) is wrong because "positive" describes the category of risk (an opportunity rather than a threat), not a response strategy - it's not one of the four opportunity responses in the PMI framework.

Opportunistic (C) is wrong because it is not a recognized risk response strategy at all; it's a distractor that sounds related to opportunities but has no place in the PMI risk framework.

Memory tip: Think of "Exploit = Eliminate the uncertainty." When an organization goes all-in to guarantee an opportunity happens (not just nudge it), that's exploiting. The word "seize" in the question is a direct synonym clue - exploit and seize both mean taking firm control of the outcome.
