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.

Just tackled a similar question during my exam—it focused on handling risks in project management. The correct answer was about consulting the risk register and implementing a planned response, as it ensures proactive risk management. I remember this being thoroughly explained in the examforsure.com guide, especially how the risk register is a go-to tool for pre-identified risks and responses. The pro version really helped me understand how to differentiate between reactive and planned actions, making this an easy pick. For questions like this, focus on keywords like “risk register” or “planned response” to guide your answer!

A. The project manager should immediately activate the contingency plan they developed during project planning to address this specific risk. This may involve reallocating resources, outsourcing the task, or adjusting the project schedule to accommodate the absence. Communication with stakeholders about the situation and the proposed solution is also crucial to manage expectations and minimize disruptions.
