Since there are mudslides within Pismo Beach along the Pacific Coast Highway during your drive from Los Angeles to San Francisco, you head north on I-5 to reach San Francisco. Although the odds of a mudslide being substantially reduce, higher traffic on I-5 increases the risk of a motor vehicle accident. Since risk is always present, which of the following condition is taking place? A. Denying the risk
B. Sharing the risk
C. Avoiding risk altogether
D. Accepting the risk

The condition that is present is one where you are D. accepting the risk.

Accepting risk means that one knows that there is a certain amount of risk in doing something and instead of avoiding it, finds a way to deal with the situation regardless of the risk involved.

This is more likely when the risk of something happening is always present such that the activity is hard to avoid.

The subject in this scenario has accepted that there will be risk in being involved in a motor vehicle accident by taking the I-5 but still decides to take the road anyway instead of avoiding it because they believe that they will find a way to avoid the accidents.

They are therefore accepting risk.
