Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • ✗

    Ignore

    Why it's wrong here

    Ignore is not a recognized response strategy.

  • ✗

    Enhance

    Why it's wrong here

    Enhance is for positive risks (opportunities).

  • ✓

    Avoid

    Why this is correct

    Correct: Avoid involves eliminating the risk.

  • ✓

    Mitigate

    Why this is correct

    Correct: Mitigate reduces probability or impact.

  • ✓

    Transfer

    Why this is correct

    Transfer shifts the financial impact of a risk to a third party, such as an insurance policy or fixed-price contract, without eliminating the underlying threat. In the PK0-005 scenario, this strategy satisfies the constraint that risk responses must be valid according to the PMBOK Guide, which formally recognises transfer as a distinct response for negative risks. It does not reduce probability or impact, but reallocates liability.
