B

C

D

Correct Answer: C
Choice C is the best answer. The correct idiomatic phrase is "at risk," meaning exposed to danger.
Choice A is incorrect because "in risk" is not the standard idiom. Choice B is incorrect because "on risk" is not the standard idiom. Choice D is incorrect because "to risk" acts as an infinitive verb, not a prepositional phrase describing a state.
