S: Our nation is becoming too averse to risk. We boycott any food reported to contain a toxic chemical, even though the risk, as a mathematical ratio, might be minimal. With this mentality, Columbus would never have sailed west.
T: A risk-taker in one context can be risk-averse in another: the same person can drive recklessly, but refuse to eat food not grown organically.
T responds to S by showing that:
(A) a distinction should be made between avoidable and unavoidable risks
(B) aversion to risk cannot be reliably assessed without reference to context
(C) there is confusion about risk in the minds of many members of the public
(D) mathematical odds concerning risk give an unwarranted impression of precision
(E) risk cannot be defined in relation to perceived probable benefit

by means of his example T has emphasized on the fact that risk can be or cannot be avoided with reference to the context(different circumstances). As per T risks can be avoided only after carefully assessing it however no assurance can be given when it comes to risk assesment in a given situation.
