The correct option is B Disaster Risk Reduction
'Disaster risk reduction (DRR) is a systematic approach to identifying, assessing and reducing the risks of disaster. It aims to reduce socio-economic vulnerabilities to disaster as well as dealing with the environmental and other hazards that trigger them. DRR is very wide-ranging. Its scope is much broader and deeper than conventional emergency management.
