Hmm, this is a tough one. I'm going to go with (B) - transferring the risk with contractual clauses. That way, the client can share in the pain of the rework and inexperience. Plus, then I can blame them if things go wrong! Just kidding, of course. But seriously, (B) seems like the way to go here.

I'm leaning towards (C) - accepting the risk with contingency reserves. That way, the team can plan for the additional testing and rework, rather than trying to eliminate it entirely. Though I suppose (D) is also a solid option, if the team has the management reserves to spare.

I agree, having contingency reserves in place can help the team prepare for unexpected issues.

Definitely go with (D) - mitigating the risk with management reserves. This allows the team to proactively address the quality issues and lack of experience, rather than just hoping for the best. Avoiding the risk (A) or transferring it (B) doesn't seem like the right call here.

This is a tricky one. I think the best approach is to mitigate the risk with management reserves (D). Avoiding the risk by eliminating rework waste (A) might not be feasible, and transferring the risk (B) doesn't really address the root cause. Accepting the risk (C) could be risky, pun intended.
