Explanation:
Sustainability ensures that the control continues to function as expressed over the time and adopts as changes or new elements are introduced to the environment.
Incorrect Answers:
A: Reliability of control ensures that it will serve its purpose under multiple circumstances.
C: Consistent characteristic of the control tells whether the control can be applied in the same manner across the organization.
D: A control or countermeasure which does not overlap in its performance with another control or countermeasure is considered as distinct. Hence the separation of controls in the production environment rather than the separation in the design and implementation of the risk refers to distinct.

According to the Risk and Information Systems Control Study Manual, inherent risk is the risk that exists before any controls or mitigating factors are considered. Inherent risk is influenced by the nature and complexity of the business activities, the environment, and the technology involved. A new policy that allows staff members to remotely connect to the organization's IT systems via personal or public computers is likely to increase the inherent risk of the organization, as it introduces new threats and vulnerabilities that may compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the IT systems and data. For example, personal or public computers may not have adequate security measures, such as antivirus software, firewalls, encryption, or authentication, and may expose the organization to malware, hacking, data leakage, or unauthorized access.
Therefore, the answer is B. Inherent risk. References = Risk and Information Systems Control Study Manual,
