Which of the following is NOT a listed type of stakeholder?

• A. Actives
• B. Respondents
• C. Attentives
• D. Passives

Answer: (B)

Understanding stakeholder engagement in risk communication means looking at how people interact with information and take action. Actives are those who actively participate and push for changes, Attentives are people who pay close attention and can influence decisions, and Passives receive information without actively engaging. Respondents doesn’t fit this set because it describes a reaction in data collection (who answers a survey or feedback form) rather than a way people engage with risk information or act on it. Since the question asks which is not a listed stakeholder type, Respondents stands out as not part of the engagement-style categories. The other terms align with different engagement patterns you’d expect to see in risk communication: active participation, attentive awareness, and passive reception of information.
