Exam CRISC topic 1 question 46 discussion

I would like to correct my answer. the answer should be A Transference for the following reason : When the project manager hires a third party to handle the hardware work, it doesn’t transfer the overall project risk. Instead, it transfers the hardware-related risks (such as technical, operational, or compliance risks specific to hardware) to the third-party vendor. Considering the first sentence in the question mentions "A part of a project deals with the hardware work." then the scope of transfered risk is hardware-related work.

It should be Mitigation (B) because the hardware risk still affect the project even hiring a 3rd party to deal with all hardware work.

Transfer the risk, but not the accountability. It's correct.

Hiring a contractor does not transfer the risk to the contractor. The contractor is a project human resource and as an SME may be better able to complete the associated tasks. It may transfer the "accountability" in a RACI, but the PM is still going to be responsible. Transferring a risk generally refers to insurance.

A is the rightanswer.

I believe the phrase “all hardware work” states that response type is risk transfer

It should be risk mitigation, as part of activity is being managed by third party.Not the entire process is getting outsourced.

i believe you are not transfering the risk but mitigating it by outsourcing to a provider but you still own the risk as HW is an asset of your project required to meet your business goals
