Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Follow the original plan strictly to reduce risk
Why it's wrong here
Sticking to a plan in high uncertainty is a high-risk strategy.
- ✓
Adopt an iterative approach with frequent spikes to learn
Why this is correct
Spikes allow for research and risk reduction before full implementation.
- ✗
Outsource the uncertain parts of the project
Why it's wrong here
Outsourcing doesn't resolve the underlying uncertainty.

Delay the uncertain work until the end of the project
Why it's wrong here
Delaying high-risk work makes it harder to fix later.
