BEncapsulation or management-in-place, as disturbing intact asbestos materials can release fibers✓ Correct

Explanation
Intact, non-friable asbestos materials generally pose minimal risk and are often best managed in place or encapsulated. Disturbing intact asbestos through removal or grinding can release dangerous fibers into the air.
