Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC) — Question 1059

Natural disaster is BEST associated to which of the following types of risk?

Answer options

• A. Short-term
• B. Long-term
• C. Discontinuous
• D. Large impact

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Natural disasters are characterized by their unpredictable nature and can lead to significant interruptions in operations, making them a prime example of discontinuous risk. The other options, such as short-term, long-term, and large impact, describe different aspects of risk but do not capture the unique and unpredictable nature of risks associated with natural disasters.
