Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The severity level of the notable event.
Why it's wrong here
Severity is defined separately in the correlation search settings.
- ✗
The threshold for triggering a notable.
Why it's wrong here
The threshold is configured in the Risk Notable correlation search, not the adaptive response action.
- ✗
The total risk score for the object.
Why it's wrong here

Why this is correct
The risk_score parameter defines the weight assigned to the specific event triggering the action.
