The correct answer is 'risks'. It was apparently you who chose the word 'threats'.

The correct answer (indicated above the original question) is 'risks'. Billy chose 'threats' as the answer, but asked "why [is] 'threats' [the answer]?" Yankee has clarified that situation.

By usage, 'property' suffers risks, not threats.
