Which of the following statements are true about risk management? Select TWO.

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B, D

The correct responses are 2 and 4: risk management is a continual process and helps companies ensure the smooth and successful running of P+S. These are direct quotes from p.3 of the study guide. The other answers are wrong- if risk management is a continuous process it's not something that is done once a year- so this option is automatically discounted. Option 1 is also wrong as you can never reduce all risks to 0, and option 5 is also wrong- risks can be treated and transferred, but they can also be tolerated and terminated.

I feel like C is definitely false, but I’m torn between A and E for the second choice. I need to think more about how risks are treated or transferred.

I’m a bit confused about A; I thought the goal was to minimize risks, not eliminate them completely.

I remember practicing a question similar to this, and I think D is also correct because effective risk management can really help operations run smoothly.

I think option B is definitely true since risk management is supposed to be ongoing, but I'm not sure about the other one.
