Neco 2023 Computer Studies Question 20

A company evaluates three security threats using a risk matrix. Likelihood and impact are rated as Low = 1, Medium = 2, High = 3. The risk score for a threat is calculated as: \[\text{Risk Score}=\text{Likelihood}\times\text{Impact}\] The threats are: - Threat A: Likelihood = High, Impact = Medium\n- Threat B: Likelihood = Medium, Impact = High\n- Threat C: Likelihood = Low, Impact = Low\nThe company can implement a security control that reduces the likelihood of any one threat by one level (e.g., High→Medium) at a cost of 2 units. With a budget of 2 units, only one threat can be treated. Which threat should be prioritized to achieve the greatest reduction in total risk score? Provide the name of the threat (A, B, or C).
