Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Ignorance
Why it's wrong here
Ignorance is not a valid risk treatment; risks must be actively addressed through one of the recognized treatments.
- ✓
Transference
Why this is correct
Transference is correct because it moves the financial impact of a risk to a third party, a widely accepted treatment in cloud risk management.
- ✓
Avoidance
Why this is correct
Avoidance is a common treatment, but it is not one of the two selected for this question; the focus is on transference and acceptance.
- ✗
Deletion
Why it's wrong here
Deletion is not a standard risk treatment option in any recognized risk management framework.
- ✓
Acceptance
Why this is correct
Acceptance is correct because it is a legitimate treatment where the risk is acknowledged and tolerated, often for low-impact or low-probability risks.
