Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A 🗳️
Here in this scenario alarm indicates the potential risk that the rising temperature of machine can cause, hence it is enacting as a risk indicator.
Risk indicators are metrics used to indicate risk thresholds, i.e., it gives indication when a risk level is approaching a high or unacceptable level of risk. The main objective of a risk indicator is to ensure tracking and reporting mechanisms that alert staff about the potential risks.
Incorrect Answers:
B: The first thing we must do in risk management is to identify the areas of the project where the risks can occur. This is termed as risk identification. Listing all the possible risks is proved to be very productive for the enterprise as we can cure them before it can occur. In risk identification both threats and opportunities are considered, as both carry some level of risk with them.
C: The temperature 430 degrees in scenario is the risk trigger. A risk trigger is a warning sign or condition that a risk event is about to happen. As in this scenario the 430-degree temperature is the indication of upcoming risks, hence 430 degree temperature is a risk trigger.
D: Risk response is the action taken to reduce the risk event occurrence. Hence here risk response is shutting off of machine.

I thought it is for for sure C. Even in the explanation under C it says the below: “ As in this scenario the 430-degree temperature is the indication of upcoming risks, hence 430 degree temperature is a risk trigger.”
