CompTIA Cloud Essentials+ (CLO-002) — Question 61

An organization determines it cannot go forward with a cloud migration due to the risks involved. Which of the following types of risk response does this describe?

Answer options

• A. Acceptance
• B. Transference
• C. Avoidance
• D. Mitigation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is 'Avoidance' because the organization is choosing not to engage in the risky activity of cloud migration. 'Acceptance' would imply acknowledging the risk without taking action, while 'Transference' involves shifting the risk to another party and 'Mitigation' means reducing the impact or likelihood of the risk, neither of which apply in this scenario.
