I’m leaning towards C as the answer. Prohibiting employees with poor driving records seems more like a preventative measure than a way to eliminate risk entirely.

I remember a practice question similar to this, and I think B is definitely a way to eliminate risk. Safety gear is essential!

I'm not sure, but I feel like D could be the answer too. Duplicating files is more about managing risk than eliminating it, right?

I think the answer might be A because assessing historical experience doesn't actually eliminate risk, it just helps us understand it better.
