Explanation:
In information security, security risks are considered an indicator of threats coupled with
vulnerability. In other words, security risk is a probabilistic function of a given threat agent exercising
a particular vulnerability and the impact of that risk on the organization. Security risks can be

analyzed and measured by the risk analysis process.Answer option B is incorrect. Security risks can never be removed completely but can be mitigated
by taking proper actions.
