Explanation

Exploit is the risk response strategy for positive risks (opportunities) where you want to ensure the opportunity definitely occurs. Since Rex wants to guarantee the $75,000 savings happen, Exploit is correct. Share (A) allocates ownership of the opportunity to a third party better positioned to capture it. Enhance (D) increases the probability or impact of a positive risk but doesn't guarantee it. Mitigation (B) is a threat response, not an opportunity response.
