You are the project manager of the YHG project for your company. Within the project, you and the
project team have identified a risk event that could have a financial impact on the project of
$450,000. This risk event has a 70 percent chance of occurring in the project. The project
identifies a solution that will reduce the probability of the risk event to ten percent, but it will cost
$260,000 to implement. Management agrees with the solution and asks that you include the risk
response in the project plan. What risk response is this?

A.
This is mitigation because the response reduces the probability.

B.
This is not a risk response, but a change request.

C.
This is transference because of the $260,000 cost of the solution.

D.
This is avoidance because the risk response caused the project plan to be changed.
