Answer Options
A
Avoid
B
Transfer
C
Accept
D
Mitigate
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
Mitigation works to limit the impact of a risk, such as by taking action like segmenting the network to prevent further malware spread. Avoidance seeks to prevent the risk from occurring. Risk transfer options move the costs of risks to another organization such as through insurance. Acceptance involves management acknowledging that the risk and its impacts may occur, and that the organization will move forward despite that chance.
