If you plan activities that aim to eliminate or reduce the probability of a threat occurring, what risk response have you chosen:

• A. Risk Mitigation
• B. Risk Transfer
• C. Risk Acceptance
• D. Risk Avoidance

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is choosing a response that removes exposure to the risk by not engaging in the activity that could cause it. This is risk avoidance: you change the plan or scope so the threat cannot occur at all, effectively eliminating the probability of the threat arising. If you were simply trying to lessen the chance while still pursuing the activity, that would be mitigation. Transferring risk moves it to someone else, and accepting risk means doing nothing about it. In this case, aiming to eliminate the threat by redesigning the plan fits avoidance best.
