It's "reduction in the risk" is the right one.
Following is from wordreference forum about the use of right preposition:
1 a slight reduction in the price of oil
2 the reduction of interest rates
3 substantial reductions on children's clothes
These varying prepositions after certain verbs are always tricky even for native speakers. In your first sentence, "in" is most often heard before "price" though "of" is also possible. In your second sentence, "in" and "of" would both work. I prefer "in" for that example. In your third sentence, "on" children's clothes is probably most frequent and is a short way of saying "in the price of children's clothes". I suppose that "on" is used here because "in children's clothes" or "of children's clothes" might possibly lead the listener or reader to believe that it was the clothes themselves that were being reduced instead of the price.

what is reducing
what is capable
what is expected
what is potential
etc
reduction IN the risk is correct
