Selected Answer: A
A. Targeted cyberattacks against the organization's infrastructure A significant year-over-year increase in inherent risk is most likely due to targeted cyberattacks against the organization's infrastructure. Inherent risk refers to the risk present in a process or activity without considering the existence of controls. Targeted cyberattacks can introduce new threats and vulnerabilities to an organization, increasing the inherent risk. The other options (B, C, and D) primarily relate to control effectiveness or risk management processes, which are separate from inherent risk.
