Show the answer

Answer: B. A predisposing condition, which raises or lowers the chance a threat event causes harm

A predisposing condition affects — increases or decreases — the likelihood that threat events result in adverse impacts. NIST uses a flood-prone location and a stand-alone system with no external connectivity as its two examples.
