Correct answer & explanation
✓
Off-specification
An Off-specification is something that should be provided by the project but is not (or is forecast not to be) present. A Request for Change is a proposal for a change. A Problem/Concern is other issues. This fits Off-specification because the product does not meet the specification.
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
Why it's wrong here
A risk is an uncertain event that could affect the project. This issue is a certainty.
- ✗
Problem/Concern
Why it's wrong here
Problem/Concern is for issues that are not Off-specifications or Requests for Change.
- ✗
Request for Change
Why it's wrong here
A Request for Change is a proposal for a change, not a failure to meet specification.
- ✓
Off-specification
Why this is correct
Correct. The product is not meeting its specification, so it is an Off-specification.
