To manage the risk associated with volatile crude oil prices, purchasing crude oil-related derivatives such as futures or options is an appropriate risk management technique. These financial instruments allow the organization to hedge against price fluctuations by locking in prices or securing the right to purchase at a specific price, thereby providing financial stability and predictability. Option A is not directly related to hedging crude oil price risks. Option B involves speculative trading, which can be risky. Option D may not be feasible or cost-effective compared to using derivatives.References: COSO's Enterprise Risk Management – Integrating with Strategy and Performance.
