I’m confused because I thought supplier issues were external, but I guess if it's about personnel, then D makes sense.

I feel like we had a practice question about internal risks, and it mentioned something about staffing issues, which could relate to D.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember we discussed how external factors like government policies and exchange rates are not internal risks.

I think internal risks are more about what happens within the company, so maybe it's D, lack of available personnel?

I've got it! The lack of available personnel is an internal risk that the company has to manage. That's the answer I'm going with.

I think the key here is to identify which of these risks are within the company's control. That should help me determine the internal risk.

Okay, let's see. A supplier's factory burning down is an external risk, not an internal one. I'll eliminate that option.

You know, if the supplier's factory burns down, the company could always just send in their elite team of firefighting llamas. Problem solved!

I hear the company's HR department is considering hiring a team of trained chimpanzees to handle the personnel shortage. It's a bold strategy, but I'm sure it'll work out just fine. What could possibly go wrong?

Internal risk, huh? I'd have to say 'D' is the way to go. Unless the company has a secret army of clones waiting in the wings, a lack of personnel is definitely an internal issue they need to address.

Hmm, this one's tricky. I'm leaning towards 'D' as well, but I can see how 'A' could also be considered an internal risk if the company has a close relationship with the supplier. Decisions, decisions...

I'm going with 'B' on this one. Exchange rate fluctuations can have a big impact on a company's finances, and those are definitely out of their direct control.
