Show answer

Answer

  • A When the cost of the countermeasure would exceed the expected damage

Explanation

Acceptance is a deliberate decision by those responsible to bear a risk, usually because it is small or a countermeasure would be disproportionately expensive. A risk nobody knows about is not accepted but ignored. If the law prescribes a measure, acceptance is usually not an option.
