Wait, is it really true that uncertainty shouldn't be considered in decision making?

I recall that risk is definitely important in decision-making, but I’m not sure if uncertainty should be completely disregarded. That seems off to me.

I’m a bit confused about the difference between risk and uncertainty. I thought both could have upsides and downsides, but maybe I’m mixing them up.

I feel like I’ve seen a question similar to this before, and I think option A makes the most sense because risk is often measured in financial terms.

I think I remember that risk can be quantified, but I'm not sure if uncertainty is always unquantifiable.
