A black swan event is definitely not a good thing. It's the kind of surprise that keeps you up at night, not the kind that makes you jump for joy.

Gotta be option D, an unusual occurrence. I mean, who would have predicted a global pandemic, am I right?

Haha, I'm pretty sure a black swan event is not a common occurrence. That would just make it a regular old swan, wouldn't it?

Well, the way I see it, a black swan event has to have a negative outcome. That's what makes it so disruptive and unpredictable.
