Explanation
Exploit is a positive risk response strategy used when an opportunity (positive risk) is identified - the goal is to ensure the opportunity definitely occurs by eliminating uncertainty around it. The other three choices are negative risk responses: Mitigate (A) reduces the probability or impact of a threat, Transfer (B) shifts the financial impact of a threat to a third party, and Avoid (D) eliminates the threat entirely. In risk management, opportunities have their own response strategies: Exploit, Enhance, Share, and Accept.
