What is the general response to risk that entails transfer or acceptance?

The general response to risk that involves transfer or acceptance is best captured by the concept of "Response to Risk." This term encompasses various strategies that organizations employ to handle potential risks, specifically including acceptance, where an organization acknowledges the risk and decides to take no action, and transfer, where the risk is shifted to another party, often through insurance or outsourcing.

In risk management, these strategies aim to optimize an organization's risk exposure. By transferring risk, an organization can minimize financial impacts, while by accepting it, the organization recognizes the risk may be manageable within its risk tolerance levels.

While the other options—risk acceptance, risk mitigation, and risk avoidance—represent individual strategies, they do not encompass the broader category of responses to risk that includes both acceptance and transfer methods. Consequently, "Response to Risk" correctly captures the overall framework within which these approaches operate.
