CompTIA Project+ (PK0-004) — Question 236

A project manager is overseeing the construction of a new building. There are likely existing underground water, gas, and electrical lines. Which of the following is an example of mitigation?

Answer options

• A. Trust the contractor to do the job well because the company has been in business for a long time.
• B. Tell the contractor that the company is responsible for any damage done to underground lines.
• C. Immediately fix any broken lines that are hit during construction.
• D. Ensure the contractor has the appropriate utility maps.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because ensuring the contractor has the appropriate utility maps helps prevent damage to existing lines before construction starts. Option A is not a mitigation strategy but rather a reliance on trust, while option B shifts liability rather than preventing issues. Option C addresses damage after it occurs, which is reactive rather than proactive mitigation.
