Free PMI PgMP Actual Exam Questions - Question 11 Discussion
reduce the probability of occurrence, or impact of risk below an acceptable threshold?
Maybe A works too since risk avoidance means eliminating the threat completely, which definitely keeps the probability and impact below the threshold. It’s a stronger step than mitigation but still fits the goal of reducing risk.
Maybe C, since risk mitigation is all about lowering the chance or impact of bad stuff happening, which matches the question’s focus on threats specifically. Avoidance (A) is more about ditching the risk altogether.
C/D? I get why C fits since it’s about reducing risk, but D might also be tempting if the risk is low enough to accept without action. Still, acceptance doesn’t reduce probability or impact, so that probably rules it out. Mitigation is more active in decreasing the threat itself, which matches the question’s focus on lowering probability or impact below a threshold. So yeah, C seems more spot on than the others here.
It’s C because risk avoidance (A) means completely steering clear, and transference (B) means shifting risk to someone else, not reducing it yourself. Mitigation is about lowering risk directly.
It’s C. Risk mitigation because it’s all about lowering the chance or impact of a risk happening.
