Okay, I've got this. Fraud committed by an employee is definitely an internal risk, since it's happening within the business. I'm confident that A is the correct answer.

I'm not totally sure about this one. Is fraud by an employee considered a procurement risk or an economic risk? I'll have to review my notes to make sure I understand the difference between these types of risks.

This looks like a pretty straightforward network management and logging question. I think I have a good handle on the key requirements - the APAC segment has 9 HA pairs of firewalls generating 25K logs per second, and 14 days of log retention is needed.

Okay, let's see. I think the key here is being able to track which email addresses are receiving which emails. That sounds like it could be related to the "Send Log" or "Tracking Extract" options.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. I was thinking it could be B) external risk since the employee is committing fraud from outside the business's internal controls.
