Which of the following risk strategies prevents a risk from impacting a project?

Accepting risk means the team acknowledges the risk exists and takes no proactive action, leaving the project fully exposed to its impact if it materializes.

Mitigating risk reduces the probability or impact of a risk but does not eliminate the risk, meaning it can still affect the project.

Avoiding a risk means altering the project plan to eliminate the risk trigger altogether - such as removing a risky activity, changing scope, or extending the schedule - so the risk event cannot occur and therefore cannot impact the project. Unlike other strategies, avoidance is the only approach that fully prevents impact rather than reducing, shifting, or absorbing it.

Transferring risk shifts the financial or operational burden to a third party such as through insurance or outsourcing, but the risk event itself can still occur and disrupt the project.
