  79% (42)
• C
  13% (7)
• D
  4% (2)
• E
  4% (2)

Explanation

When presenting to management, the risk manager should focus on strategic relevance. Risks tied to organizational success (A) speak directly to what executives care about most - mission-critical outcomes. Framing risks within the organization's overall risk philosophy and strategic objectives (B) ensures the presentation is aligned with how management views and makes decisions about risk. Option C (30% return across 10 projects) is speculative and overly optimistic, lacking the credibility needed for executive discussion. Option D (cost risks in execution) is too tactical and project-specific. Option E (stakeholder mitigation work) is operational detail, not an executive-level focus.
