选项
答案significant risk
解析 由 Court documents, carcinogen, coffee roasting process 可定位至该段第二句“Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Elihu Berle said in a decision dated Wednesday that Starbucks and other companies...”法庭文件显示,洛杉矶高等法院法官Elihu Berle 在周三的一项判决中表示，星巴克和其他公司未能证明咖啡烘焙过程中产生的致癌物没有显著风险。significant risk意为“显著风险”，故本空填significant risk。
