Hint is PM already identified this risk during Project Planning. Output of Identify Risk process is Risk register. Basically, a good PM w/ 4 values & 12 principles under PMI languages need to do this task with due diligent thus Risk register can be used later as sufficient reference regarding risk response plan when relevant risk happen. A is still the correct answer.

The risk was already identified in the planning phase, meaning a risk response strategy should have been documented. Upon the risk materializing, the correct, immediate action is to execute that planned response. Documentation updates come after mitigation/response execution.

Using elimination technique, both options B & C mean accepting the problem, which are not acceptable. Option D also kind of accepting because lesson learned will happen after the event. Option A is the best choice because risk register will provide guidance that to do in this situation.

No estoy de acuerdo con la respuestas brindandas, teniendo en cuenta que proyecto siempre debe trabajar con su tema de Backup donde la operación conozca las diferentes situaciones del proyecto y cualquier persona deberia asumir la reponsabilidad para ejecutar los diferentes compromisos con el fin de garantizar una operación estable, dependiente de que las personas tengan situaciones dificiles siempre hay que verificar previamente como poder ayudar antes de que el riesgo de materialice.
