Why each option

Acceptance is the only risk response strategy that can be applied to both positive and negative risk events, where the project team decides not to take any action regarding the risk.

AAcceptanceCorrect

Acceptance is a risk response that involves deciding not to take any action regarding a risk, whether it's a threat or an opportunity. For negative risks, this means acknowledging the risk and its potential impact but choosing not to mitigate it; for positive risks (opportunities), it means acknowledging the potential benefit but choosing not to enhance it. This approach can be passive or active, but in both cases, it applies to both threats and opportunities.

BTransference

Transference (or transfer) is primarily used for negative risks, moving the ownership and responsibility of the risk to a third party.

CSharing

Sharing is a strategy typically applied to positive risks (opportunities) to increase the probability and/or impact of the opportunity, by sharing ownership with a third party.

DMitigation

Mitigation is specifically a response for negative risks, aiming to reduce the probability or impact of the threat to an acceptable level.
