Why each option
Common strategies for managing risk include accepting, transferring, or mitigating it, as well as avoiding it.
Risk acceptance is a strategy where an organization decides to bear the potential consequences of a particular risk.
While 'Avoid / Eliminate' is a valid risk response strategy (often referred to as risk avoidance), the question asks for three distinct ways, and A, C, D are primary categories.
Risk transfer involves shifting the financial burden or responsibility of a risk to another party, often through insurance or outsourcing.
Risk mitigation involves implementing controls or countermeasures to reduce the likelihood or impact of a risk.
'Deny' is not a recognized or effective strategy for dealing with risk in a professional context; it typically refers to ignoring or downplaying a risk, which is irresponsible.
