Correct answer & explanation
✓
Share
In PRINCE2, the typical response strategies for a threat (negative risk) include Avoid, Reduce, Transfer, and Share. Option A (Share) is correct as it involves collaborating with another party to manage the threat. Option B (Avoid) is correct by eliminating the threat. Option C (Reduce) is correct by lowering probability or impact. Option D (Transfer) is also a threat response, but since the question asks for THREE, the set of A, B, C is correct. Share is often confused as only an opportunity response, but in PRINCE2, it can be used for threats as well.
