I think the risk manager should have ensured the risk wouldn't reoccur to truly consider the response a success.

This question is a real head-scratcher. The risk manager should have at least invited the sponsor to the celebration, right? Avoiding the sponsor's wrath should be the top priority.

D is the real winner here. If the risk doesn't come back, then the response was a true success. Otherwise, it's just a temporary fix, and the risk manager shouldn't be throwing a party yet.

I'm not sure why the risk manager celebrated without the sponsor's buy-in. That seems like a recipe for trouble. C seems like the best option to keep everyone on the same page.

B is the way to go. Feedback from stakeholders is crucial to validating the effectiveness of the risk response. The risk manager needs to be proactive, not just celebrate on their own.

Hmm, the risk manager should have definitely gotten the project sponsor's approval before celebrating. You can't just assume the risk response was a success without their input.
