Full Answer

B.Mitigate✓ Correct
Compliance risks are threats. 'Mitigate' is the most common active strategy—taking steps to ensure the standards are met (reducing probability of non-compliance). 'Transfer' (insurance) might cover fines but doesn't fix the compliance failure. 'Avoid' would mean cancelling the project or scope, which might be too extreme unless mitigation fails.
