Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

Reduce the impact of the risk if it occurs.
Why this is correct
Impact reduction is a standard mitigation strategy.
- ✓
Reduce the probability of the risk occurring.
Why this is correct
Probability reduction is a standard mitigation strategy.
- ✗
Remove the task from the schedule entirely.
