Buckley · Answer 1

The answer is letter c, risk.

Explanation:

Risk refers to the potential loss that a person may encounter for a specific action he chose. This loss is considered uncontrollable. There are several kinds of risks according to different practice areas. These are: Economic Risk, Insurance Risk, Security Risk, Finance Risk, Health Risk and the like.

Example, when it comes to hospital setting, a nurse may encounter risks in providing care to his patient. If her patient has Tuberculosis (TB), then she is at risk of contracting the disease because of her exposure to the patient. Tuberculosis can be contracted through the air. Thus, the probability for the nurse to acquire the disease is high.

Thus, this explains the answer.
