Answers
D.

Accepting the risk.

Suggested answer: B

Explanation:

When an organization purchases a derivative contract in the stock market to limit the potential loss in the value of a security, it is transferring the risk to another party. In this case, the derivative contract (such as options or futures) serves as a hedge against potential losses, meaning the risk of loss is transferred to the counterparty of the derivative contract.
