______ attempts to create a level of outrage from the public that is appropriate to the level of hazard present.

• A. Public relations
• B. Crisis management
• C. Corporate social responsibility
• D. Risk communication

Answer: (D)

Risk communication centers on conveying hazards in a way that is accurate and proportional to the actual risk. The aim is to set the public’s level of concern or outrage to match how dangerous the situation truly is, so people understand the seriousness while knowing exactly what actions to take. It emphasizes transparency about what’s known, what isn’t, and the recommended steps, and it updates as new information comes in. This differs from public relations, which focuses on shaping an organization’s image; crisis management, which is the broader coordination of a response; and corporate social responsibility, which deals with a company’s ethical and social obligations.
