PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Practices Practice Question
Which THREE of the following are threat responses defined in PRINCE2?
⚠ Common exam trap
PRINCE2 often tests the confusion between threat responses and opportunity responses, leading candidates to select 'Enhance' or 'Exploit' as threat responses when they are actually for positive risks.

Accept
