Full Answer

B.Mitigate✓ Correct

Compliance risks are threats. 'Mitigate' is the most common active strategy—taking steps to ensure the standards are met (reducing probability of non-compliance). 'Transfer' (insurance) might cover fines but doesn't fix the compliance failure. 'Avoid' would mean cancelling the project or scope, which might be too extreme unless mitigation fails.

Common mistakes

Thinking you can Transfer compliance liability entirely.
