Haha, Option C is definitely not the definition of risk. Scope creep is more of a consequence of poor risk management if anything.

I'm leaning towards Option A as well. The other options seem to be describing specific risk-related situations, not the general definition of risk itself.

I'm not sure, but A does make sense. It's about managing uncertainties.

I agree with Vicente, because risk is about potential impact on objectives.

Option A sounds like the most comprehensive definition of risk. It covers the potential impact on objectives, which is key.
