Step-by-step explanation:

Risk can be defined as the possibility of a bad occurrence which could be as a result of external factors. It could also be referred to as an uncertainty that is when things do not likely work out as initially planned.

Risk is an unplanned eventuality which could have a positive or negative impact on a business. Ability to manage risk is a very vital part for the growth of the company.
