Which statement correctly matches risk acceptance class with its description?

• A. Class A - Catastrophic
• B. Class B - Critical
• C. Class C - Moderate
• D. Class D - Negligible

Answer: (C)

Risk acceptance classifications describe the level of residual risk allowed after protective measures. Four classes map to the severity levels Catastrophic, Critical, Moderate, and Negligible. The statement that Class C corresponds to Moderate is the correct one, placing this class in the middle where risk is noticeable and requires controls or cautious acceptance, but not as severe as Catastrophic or Critical, and not as small as Negligible. The other mappings would assign the higher-severity categories to different classes or place the lowest risk in a higher class, which is why they don’t fit.
