Analyze the specific action taken by the individual in the scenario.
David is choosing to pay the first $1,000 of a loss out of his own pocket.
Identifying who bears the direct financial burden helps determine the correct risk handling method.

Compare the action to the STARR methods (Sharing, Transfer, Avoidance, Reduction, Retention).
Assuming financial responsibility for a specific portion of a loss matches the definition of risk retention.
Differentiating between the overall policy (transfer) and the specific function of the deductible (retention) isolates the core concept being tested.
