I'm a bit confused between B) Hazard and C) Risk. I feel like both relate to harm, but I can't remember the exact definitions we went over.

I practiced a similar question where we had to identify risk factors, and I think it was about assessing severity and likelihood. So, I lean towards C) Risk.

I remember discussing hazards in class, but I can't recall if that specifically includes probability. Maybe it's B) Hazard?

I think the answer might be C) Risk, but I'm not completely sure. It seems to fit the definition of combining severity and probability.
