  The decision to accept the associated IT risk of implementing a new mobile sales channel involves both understanding the technological implications and the business objectives the channel is meant to achieve. While the IT Steering Committee is indeed a crucial body for aligning IT initiatives with business strategies, the ultimate responsibility for a business-driven initiative like a mobile sales channel often rests with the business sponsor. The business sponsor is typically a senior leader who has the authority to make business decisions and is accountable for the success of the initiative.

  The business sponsor is often responsible for approving projects and initiatives from a business perspective. In the context of introducing a new mobile sales channel, the business sponsor is likely to have a comprehensive understanding of the business goals, benefits, and risks associated with the project. While other stakeholders, such as the IT steering committee, Chief Information Officer (CIO), and risk manager, may be involved in the risk management process, the business sponsor is typically the one who can make the final decision based on a holistic view of business considerations.

  I think the answer should be C - Business Sponsor as they are the ones who ultimately have to deal with the impact of the risk if occurred.
