CompTIA Project+ (PK0-005) — Question 14

An opportunity emerged in the middle of a project life cycle. Which of the following is the BEST action for the project manager to take?

Answer options

• A. Exploit the risk.
• B. Accept the risk.
• C. Avoid the risk.
• D. Transfer the risk.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The best course of action is to exploit the risk, as this means taking advantage of the opportunity to enhance project outcomes. Accepting, avoiding, or transferring the risk do not capitalize on the opportunity but rather mitigate or shift it, which is not beneficial in this context.
