Risk mitigation, no doubt. Lowering the probability or impact of a threat? That's exactly what I want to do. Although, if I could just wave a magic wand and make the risk disappear, that would be Blythen better!

Risk mitigation, hands down. It's the only option that talks about reducing the risk to an acceptable threshold. I'm not trying to accept any unacceptable risks here!

Risk mitigation, for sure. That's the one that aligns with the question's description of reducing the probability or impact of risks. Gotta love a good multiple-choice question with a clear correct answer!

Yeah, risk avoidance and risk transference wouldn't really fit the bill for reducing the probability or impact of risks.

I agree, risk mitigation is definitely the way to go in that scenario.

But risk avoidance means completely avoiding the risk, while risk mitigation is about reducing the impact. I still think A) is the right choice.

Hmm, I was debating between risk mitigation and risk avoidance, but mitigation makes more sense. Avoidance is more about eliminating the risk entirely, while mitigation is about lowering it to an acceptable level.

Risk mitigation seems like the obvious choice here. It's the only option that specifically mentions reducing the probability or impact of risks. This is exactly what risk response planning is all about.
