Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Answer: All of P, Q, and R. Risk monitoring serves multiple complementary purposes.
Assess whether predicted risks occur: Track risk triggers, incidents, and changes in probability or impact so you know which risks have materialized.
Ensure risk-aversion steps are applied: Verify that planned mitigation or contingency actions are executed and are effective in managing the risk.
Collect information for future risk analysis: Record outcomes, root causes, metrics, and lessons learned to improve future risk identification, assessment, and response planning.
Tip: Use a risk register, periodic risk-status reports, and lessons-learned reviews to support these monitoring objectives.
