I'm a bit unsure about this one. Is the 'check' phase about understanding the risk tolerances, or is it more about validating the risk responses? I'll have to re-read the question carefully.

Okay, the 'check' phase is where you evaluate if the risk has been managed properly. So I'd go with option C - it involves validating the effectiveness of the risk responses.

The 'check' phase is a bit confusing. I'm not sure if it's about revising the initial responses or just validating if they worked. I'll have to think this through more carefully.
