Multiple Choice

A pilot who consistently takes a certain risk will start to believe

Explanation:
When someone is repeatedly exposed to a risk, vigilance can fade and the hazard may start to feel less threatening. This complacency or normalization of risk leads to the belief that the hazard is less likely to occur, meaning the probability is perceived as much lower now. In reality, the actual risk hasn’t diminished; the perception has, which is dangerous because it can cause you to skip safety steps or lower your guard. The other statements don’t fit because risk isn’t eliminated by experience, and attitudes like “accidents happen to stupid people” or “risks are for smart people only” aren’t valid or useful in real-world safety.
