PMI Risk Management Professional (PMI-RMP) — Question 96

Which of the following situational factors has a significant effect on risk attitude?

Answer options

• A. The risk heuristics evaluation available to the project team during planning and execution
• B. The perception of probability or frequency of occurrence and the perception of impact magnitude
• C. The number of project team members with close relationships to the chief executive officer (CEO)
• D. The number of external stakeholders and the potential for indirect consequences

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Option B is correct because an individual's perception of how likely an event is to happen and its potential impact directly shapes their attitude towards risk. The other options, while relevant to project dynamics, do not have as direct an influence on risk attitude as the perceptions described in option B.
