I feel like risk limitation might be too broad for this context. It seems more focused on the analytical processes, so I lean towards risk modeling as well.

C) Risk modeling, easy peasy. Although, I have to say, extreme value theory sounds like something straight out of a sci-fi movie. Maybe we should start a risk modeling club and invite the aliens to join?
