Mitigate
Correct Answer: A
Explanation
Risk acceptance is a strategy of recognizing, identifying, and accepting a risk that is suf-ficiently unlikely or that has such limited impact that a corrective control is not warranted. Risk transfer is the act of moving the risk to hosted providers who assume the responsi-bility for recovery and restoration or by acquiring insurance to cover the costs emerging from a risk. Risk avoidance is the removal of the vulnerability that can increase a particular risk so that it is avoided altogether. Risk mitigation is when a company implements con-trols to reduce vulnerabilities or weaknesses in a system. It can also reduce the impact of a threat.
