正解:A
The best answer is A. 2.
ARO (Annualized Rate of Occurrence) measures how many times an incident is expected to occur per year.
The company expects:
10 incidents
over 5 years
So the calculation is:
ARO = 10 / 5 = 2
This means the expected annual rate of occurrence is 2 incidents per year.
Why the other options are incorrect:
B). 5This would not represent the yearly average based on the numbers given.
C). 10This is the total number of incidents over five years, not the annualized value.
D). 50This is not supported by the information in the question.
From a Security+ risk calculation standpoint, when a total event count is spread across multiple years, the ARO is found by dividing the total incidents by the number of years. Therefore, A is correct.
