I’m confused because I thought risk was more about estimation and planning, but that doesn’t seem to fit any of these options clearly.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I feel like 'risk' is more about potential impacts rather than just scope creep, so I would go with A.

Option A is the way to go. Risk is all about that potential impact, baby. Anything else is just a distraction, like my pet rock over here.

Haha, Option C is definitely not the definition of risk. Scope creep is more of a consequence of poor risk management if anything.
