Select all factors that could make you a victim of a terrorist attack.

Opportunity is a crucial factor that can make someone a potential victim of a terrorist attack. Terrorists often look for easily accessible targets where they can achieve their goals with minimal resistance. If an individual or group is in a location or situation that presents an opportunity for attackers—such as being in a crowded public place or at a high-profile event—they may be more vulnerable to an attack.

Preparation, timing, and passivity also have implications regarding risk, but they do not directly indicate victimization in the same way opportunity does. For instance, a prepared individual may have trained to recognize and respond to potential threats, which reduces their risk. Similarly, timing—being in the right or wrong place at a specific moment—can influence exposure to a threat but doesn't inherently make someone a target. Passivity implies a lack of proactive behavior, which can increase vulnerability, yet again, it is the initial opportunity that primarily dictates the likelihood of becoming a victim.
