Explanation

Using a sandbox environment to test updates before deploying to production is a risk mitigation strategy. Mitigation involves taking proactive steps to reduce the probability or impact of a risk. By isolating changes in a safe, controlled environment, the team reduces the chance that bugs or breaking changes will affect the live system. Transfer would mean shifting risk to a third party (e.g., insurance). Avoid would mean not doing the activity at all. Accept means acknowledging the risk and taking no action.
