PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Practices Practice Question
Which of the following is a threat response in PRINCE2?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap is that candidates may assume 'Share' is a threat response because sharing risk sounds like transferring a threat. In PRINCE2, 'Share' is an opportunity response, while 'Transfer' is the threat response for allocating threat ownership to a third party.
Answer choices
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
✓
Share
In PRINCE2, the threat responses are Avoid, Reduce, Fallback, Transfer, and Accept. 'Share' is an opportunity response (allocating ownership of an opportunity to a third party), not a threat response. 'Enhance', 'Exploit', and 'Reject' are also opportunity responses. Therefore, none of the listed options is a threat response.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Enhance
Why it's wrong here
Enhance is an opportunity response, not a threat response. It is used to increase the probability or impact of an opportunity.
- ✗
Exploit
Why it's wrong here
Exploit is an opportunity response, not a threat response. It is used to make an opportunity happen.
- ✓
Share
Why this is correct
Share is a threat response. In PRINCE2, Share is used to allocate ownership of a threat to a third party via insurance or contract. Share is exclusively a threat response, not an opportunity response.
- ✗
Reject
Why it's wrong here
Reject is not a standard PRINCE2 risk response. The correct threat responses are Avoid, Reduce, Fallback, Transfer, Share, and Accept.
