I thought only pure risk had uncertainty, but now I'm confused because speculative risk seems to have uncertainty too.

I feel like speculative risk is more about investments and potential gains, so I don't think contracting an illness fits that definition.

This is a tricky one, but I think C is the right answer. An example of speculative risk is the possibility of contracting a serious illness, which involves both the potential for loss and the potential for gain (e.g., through medical treatment).
