Hi
The correct answer is option D.

Refer to PMBOK® Guide fifth Edition, page 344 (“accept”).

Passive acceptance is a strategy that means no plans are created to try to avoid or mitigate the risk. The team is willing to accept the consequences of the risk should it occur. Acceptance might also mean the project team was unable to come up with an adequate response strategy and must accept the risk and its consequences. Active acceptance include developing contingency reserves to deal with risks incase risk occurs.
