Selected Answer: A
BABOK v3 10.7.3.3 defines Risk is context of Business case as "Risks are potential problems that may have a negative impact on the solution". Hence, A is correct. Risks may have positive impacts on solution as well but BABOK specifically uses terminology 'Risk' in terms of negative impact and term 'opportunities' for positive impact. (Refer BABOK v3 6.3.2 important note) But, C is incorrect because a risk includes all uncertain events that can have negative impact on the solution including failure but does not only include events that can cause failure.
