Answer: A

Explanation:

The impact setting of an alert definition determines which badge of an object is affected when the alert is triggered. The impact setting can be one of the following: Health, Risk, or Efficiency. The Health impact indicates that the alert affects the current state of the object and requires immediate attention. The Risk impact indicates that the alert affects the future state of the object and requires proactive action. The Efficiency impact indicates that the alert affects the optimal use of resources by the object and requires optimization. Therefore, to achieve the goal of affecting the Risk badge of an object when the alert is triggered, the administrator should configure the impact setting of the alert definition to Risk.
