Why each option
Mitigation is a risk response strategy that involves taking actions to reduce the probability of a negative risk occurring or lessening its impact if it does.
Acceptance is a strategy where no active steps are taken to deal with a risk; it's simply acknowledged, and the consequences are borne if it occurs.
Mitigation involves taking steps to reduce the probability of a risk occurring or lessening the impact if it does occur, acknowledging the risk while actively preparing a response to minimize its effect and bring it to an acceptable level.
Avoidance is a strategy where the project team takes steps to eliminate the risk entirely by changing the project plan or scope.
Enhancing is a strategy used for positive risks (opportunities) to increase their probability or impact, not for negative risks.
