CompTIA Project+ (PK0-005) — Question 341

A highly scored negative causes a risk trigger, but the issue has not started yet. Which of the following is the next step the project team should take?

Answer options

• A. Execute the contingency plan.
• B. Perform a work-around.
• C. Escalate to senior management.
• D. Assign a risk owner.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as executing the contingency plan is a proactive step to mitigate the risk before it materializes. Options B and C are reactive measures that apply after a risk has occurred, and D, while important, does not address immediate action needed to manage the identified risk.
