Risk (in Business)
Probability of a known or identifiable event occurring with measurable consequences.

When Ryanair plans new routes, it faces the known risk of fuel price rises — a quantifiable threat it hedges against by purchasing oil futures contracts in advance.
Exam Focus
Distinguish risk from uncertainty in 'evaluate' questions; examiners award marks for explaining that risk can be quantified and managed.
