Which characteristic of the offense is described as "a willingness to take bold risks"?

• A. Surprise
• B. Concentration
• C. Audacity
• D. Tempo

Answer: (C)

Audacity captures a willingness to take bold risks. It’s the drive to go for big gains even when the push might backfire, pushing the offense to make aggressive, high-reward choices rather than playing it safe. That boldness is exactly what the phrase “a willingness to take bold risks” describes.

While surprise is about catching the defense off guard, it doesn’t inherently imply risk-taking, and tempo is about how fast the play is executed. Concentration is about focus and precision, not risk. So the concept that best matches the idea of bold, risky action is audacity.
