Correct answer & explanation
✓
Plan
In the PRINCE2 risk management procedure, after assessing a risk (which includes evaluating its probability and impact), the immediate next step is to plan risk responses. This step involves identifying and selecting appropriate responses to address the risk, such as avoid, reduce, transfer, or accept. Option A is correct because planning directly follows assessment to determine how to manage the risk before any implementation or communication occurs.
