Agree with the answer - it stays the same. No points are given for 'Risk Accepted'. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/defender/microsoft-secure-score-improvement-actions?view=o365-worldwide#choose-a-recommended-action-status

Risk Accepted Status: When you mark a recommendation as "Risk accepted", it indicates that you acknowledge the recommendation but choose not to act on it. This does not contribute to the Secure Score because the recommendation is not actually addressed. Scoring Logic: Points in Microsoft Secure Score are only awarded when the action is completed or implemented as recommended. Accepting the risk (without taking action) does not fulfill the security goal, so no points are added to the score.

Selected Answer: A
Risk accepted - Security should always be balanced with usability, and not every recommendation will work for your environment. When that is the case, you can choose to accept the risk, or the remaining risk, and not enact the recommended action. You won't be given any points for this status. You can view this action in history or undo it at any time.

Changing the status to "Risk accepted" for the action "Create Safe Links policies for email messages" will cause the Secure Score to remain the same. This is because accepting the risk does not implement the recommended action, and therefore, does not improve the Secure Score.

Selected Answer: E
E. decreases by 9 points When you set the Safe Links policy to "Risk accepted," Microsoft Secure Score will decrease by 9 points. This is because you're acknowledging the risk without taking steps to mitigate it, which lowers the score for your organization's proactive security posture.

I know they're meant to trick you but agree with both, they made the changes and chose not to get the points. It's like winning the lottery and giving it away

Why someone would make the recommended changes and then give up the points by choosing Risk Accepted is beyond me, but provided answer is correct. Risk Accepted would decrease the total possible points achievable and leave number of points accumulated the same.
