Explanation

In this exam's context, risk exposure refers to the funds (financial reserve) set aside to address or contain a risk should it occur - sometimes called a risk reserve or contingency reserve. Note: in standard PMI/PMBOK terminology, risk exposure is more precisely defined as probability Ã- impact (expected monetary value). Exam questions in some Agile certification curricula use 'risk exposure' to mean the allocated financial buffer designated to absorb a risk's impact, which aligns with answer A here.
