Answer options

• A. Expertise in risk management
• B. Detailed knowledge of the business process
• C. Long tenure with the organization
• D. Detailed knowledge of controls

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The most important attribute of a risk owner is B, as they need a comprehensive understanding of the business process to effectively manage and mitigate risks. While expertise in risk management, tenure with the organization, and knowledge of controls are beneficial, they do not match the necessity of knowing the business process in detail.
