I think we're overthinking this. The fact that the organization is hiring a licensed contractor to handle the dangerous work clearly indicates they are transferring the risk. I'm going with D) Transference.

I agree, it definitely seems like the risk is being transferred to the contractor.

Hmm, good point Timothy. The potential for delays due to the contractor's performance introduces another layer of risk. I'm torn between B) Secondary risk and D) Transference.

I agree, Dierdre. The key here is that the risk is being transferred to the contractor. But what if the contractor doesn't complete the work on time? That could create a secondary risk, so I'm also considering B) Secondary risk.

This question seems a bit tricky. Hiring a contractor to complete dangerous work is a form of risk transfer, so I'm leaning towards D) Transference.
