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'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.

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.
