Correct answer & explanation
✓
Risk R01 (Network outage)
The project manager should address Risk R01 (Network outage) first because it has the highest risk score (0.72), which is the product of its probability and impact. This indicates the highest priority for response. Option A is incorrect because highest probability alone does not determine priority without considering impact. Option B is incorrect because the type of response (mitigation) does not indicate priority level. Option C is incorrect because highest impact alone does not determine priority without considering probability.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Risk with highest probability (R01 or R04)
Why it's wrong here
Probability alone does not determine priority; risk score combines probability and impact.
- ✗
Risk with a mitigation response (R01)
Why it's wrong here
Response type does not indicate priority; all risks need responses.
- ✗
Risk with highest impact (R01 or R02)
Why it's wrong here
Impact alone does not determine priority; risk score combines probability and impact.
- ✓
Risk R01 (Network outage)
Why this is correct
Highest risk score (0.72) requires immediate attention.
