Explanation

A risk-tolerant person or group has a reasonable comfort with uncertainty and accepts risk as a normal, manageable feature of projects-they neither seek out risk nor avoid it entirely. Option A describes a risk-seeking/thrill-seeking profile. Option B describes a risk-averse profile (low tolerance, seeks security). Option C describes an aggressive risk-taking profile willing to pursue high-reward strategies. Option D represents a balanced, moderate risk tolerance, which is the standard definition of being 'risk-tolerant.'
