CompTIA Cloud Essentials+ (CLO-002) — Question 42

A cloud risk assessment indicated possible outages in some regions. In response, the company enabled geo-redundancy for its cloud environment. Which of the following did the company adopt?

Answer options

• A. Risk mitigation
• B. Risk acceptance
• C. Risk transference
• D. Risk avoidance

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Risk avoidance, as enabling geo-redundancy helps the company prevent outages by ensuring service continuity across different regions. The other options do not apply here: risk mitigation involves reducing the impact of risks, risk acceptance means acknowledging risks without taking action, and risk transference shifts the risk to another party, which is not what was done in this case.
