The QA manager seems more focused on quality than on benefits, so I’m leaning towards the project sponsor, but I could be wrong.

I remember a practice question where the project manager was highlighted as the key role in managing risks, but this feels a bit different.

I think the project sponsor is usually the one who ensures that the benefits are realized, but I'm not entirely sure.

I'm confident the answer is B, the project manager. They're responsible for identifying, assessing, and managing all project risks, including the risk of benefits not being realized. The other roles may be involved, but the project manager is the one who's primarily accountable.

Okay, I think I've got this. The project manager is primarily responsible for mitigating the risk of benefits not being realized. They're the one who oversees the entire project and is accountable for delivering the expected benefits.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this. The project sponsor, manager, and QA manager all seem like they could play a role, but I'm not sure which one is primarily responsible. I'll need to review my notes on project risk management.

This one's tricky, but I'm going to say the project sponsor. They're the ones who approved the project in the first place and should be invested in the benefits.
