Why each option

Risk acceptance is the strategy used when a project team consciously acknowledges a risk and chooses not to alter the project plan to address it.

ARisk avoidance

Risk avoidance involves changing the project plan to eliminate the threat or protect project objectives from its impact.

BRisk transference

Risk transference shifts the negative impact of a risk to a third party, such as through insurance or contractual agreements.

CRisk acceptanceCorrect

Risk acceptance is formally documented in the risk register and indicates the team either cannot find a cost-effective response or has determined the risk impact is tolerable. It can be passive, where no action is taken, or active, where a contingency reserve is established. It is the only strategy that explicitly allows a risk to remain without a change to the project management plan.

DRisk mitigation

Risk mitigation involves taking actions to reduce the probability or impact of a risk to an acceptable threshold.
