• D. So if the risk comes true then there's ample time to correct the problem.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, A, indicates that prioritizing risky requirements allows the project to fail early with less investment if the risks materialize, minimizing potential losses. Option B is incorrect because it doesn't directly address the prioritization of risky requirements, while C and D focus on benefits and time management, which are not the primary concerns in risk management.
