    Solution

It can be reduced through diversification of investments. A company that relies heavily on a single supplier for raw materials is exposed to unsystematic risk. If that supplier experiences a disruption in its operations, such as a natural disaster or bankruptcy, the company may not be able to obtain the necessary materials to manufacture its products, resulting in a loss of revenue and profitability. This risk is specific to the company and is not related to the overall market or economy. Global economic recession or a financial crisis, which can lead to a general decline in the stock market, reduced consumer spending, and decreased economic activity.
