An IT administrator is reviewing all the servers in an organization and notices that a server is missing crucial practice against a recent exploit that could gain root access. Which of the following describes the administrator's discovery?
Vulnerability is something that COULD happen. Thus the keyword in this question.
Vulnerability = Exposed
Threat = An event that leverages a Vulnerability
Breach = Is after the event is successful
Risk = While the vulnerability is a risk, Risk is an interpretation by the company itself of vulnerabilities that they feel are important. (you can never patch ALL vulnerabilities; otherwise, there would never be breaches.)

A breach would indicate that someone was able to exploit the vulnerability. Since this question just states that there is a potential issue, no breach is implied. If it said "... that someone used to gain root access." then it would be a breach.
vulnerability refers to a weakness in your system while the risk is related to the potential for lost, damaged, or destroyed assets
