CompTIA Project+ (PK0-005) — Question 216

A risk management team for a software project decided to outsource the development of a specific portion of a system due to a lack of internal resources. Which of the following risk responses does this demonstrate?

Answer options

• A. Avoid
• B. Transfer
• C. Accept
• D. Share

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Transfer, as outsourcing the development shifts the risk to another party. The other options do not apply: Avoid means eliminating the risk entirely, Accept means acknowledging the risk without action, and Share involves distributing the risk among multiple parties, which does not happen in this scenario.
