PK0-005 Practice Question: Refer to the exhibit
Network Topology
Refer to the exhibit. Based on the risk register, which risk should the project manager prioritize for immediate response?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is that candidates might prioritize based on impact alone (e.g., choosing R2 with impact 4) or probability alone (e.g., choosing R4 with probability 0.8), rather than calculating the product of both to determine the true risk score.

Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Risk R4
Risk R4 has the highest risk score (Probability 0.8 × Impact 5 = 4.0), making it the most critical risk in the register. The project manager should prioritize risks with the highest product of probability and impact for immediate response, as this represents the greatest potential threat to project objectives.
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 R2
Why it's wrong here
R2 has low probability, so it is lower priority.
- ✗
Risk R1
Why it's wrong here
R1 has medium probability, not as urgent as high probability.
- ✓
Risk R4
Why this is correct
Correct. R4 has high probability and high impact, requiring immediate response.
- ✗
Risk R3
Why it's wrong here
R3 has medium impact, lower than high impact.
