Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The installation of steel and cement posts in the road to prevent suicide bombers is an example of loss prevention, which aims to reduce the frequency or severity of losses by implementing measures to prevent or mitigate risks. Risk avoidance (A) involves eliminating or avoiding the risk altogether, while insurance transfer (B) and noninsurance transfer (D) involve transferring the risk to another party such as an insurance company or a contractor. However, in this scenario, the U.S. government took proactive measures to prevent the risk from occurring in the first place, making loss prevention the most appropriate risk management technique.
