Select ALL of the following that are listed as risk treatment options.
Answer
Mitigate the risk, Transfer the risk, Accept the risk, Avoid the risk
Explanation
### Why this is right
Mitigation, transfer, acceptance, and avoidance are the four treatment choices in the course material. They describe different ways an organization can respond to a risk.
### The concept
Mitigation reduces risk through safeguards. Transfer shifts some responsibility or financial consequence to another party. Acceptance means choosing to live with the risk, while avoidance means stopping the activity that creates it. The appropriate choice depends on the organization’s assessment and requirements.
### The other options
- **E. Ignore the risk assessment permanently**: this is not a treatment option and conflicts with ongoing review.
### Terms
- **Risk treatment**: the decision about how an organization will respond to an identified risk.
### Remember
Know the four responses: mitigate, transfer, accept, or avoid.
