Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Prevention is a risk control strategy that involves avoiding or eliminating the sources of risk. By deciding not to pursue a business opportunity in a foreign market due to political instability and currency fluctuations, the company prevented the potential losses or disruptions that could arise from these factors. Mitigation is a risk control strategy that involves reducing the impact or likelihood of risk. Recovery is a risk control strategy that involves restoring normal operations after a risk event occurs. Wait and see is a risk control strategy that involves monitoring the risk situation and taking action only when necessary.Reference:

C) Recovery? Haha, good one! You can't recover from a business opportunity you never took in the first place. Definitely a mitigation strategy here.

B) Prevention? Nah, man. They didn't try to stop the political instability or currency fluctuations. They just decided not to engage with that market, which is more like mitigation.
