Answer 1

Residual risk

Explanation:

Risk is generally defined as the likelihood that some harm can happen. In quantitative evaluations, risk is defined as the probability that some negative event happens . Residual risk is the threat that remains after all efforts to identify and eliminate risk have been made. There are four basic ways of dealing with risk: reduce it, avoid it, accept it or transfer it. Since residual risk is unknown, many organizations choose to either accept residual risk or transfer it for example, by purchasing insurance to transfer the risk to an insurance company. Residual risk is the remaining risk that exists after all hazard mitigation measures have been implemented or exhausted in accordance with the applicable safety requirements and the project risk management process.
