Answers
D.
Risk reduction
Suggested answer: A

Explanation:

The approach adopted by management in this scenario is risk avoidance.Risk avoidance is the elimination of a risk by discontinuing or not undertaking an activity that poses a threat to the organization3. By moving data center operations to another facility on higher ground, management is avoiding the potential flooding risk that could disrupt or damage the data center. Risk transfer, risk acceptance and risk reduction are other possible approaches for dealing with risks, but they do not apply in this case.Reference:
