A) Risk management is done to increase the probability and/or impact of
positive risks.
B) Risk management is done to decrease negative risks' probability
and/or impact.
C) Risk management is done to minimize all risks.
D) Risk management increases the probability and/or impact of positive risks
and decreases the probability and/or impact of negative risks.: D) Risk management

project risks and overall project risks.
The risk management process in the PMBOK lists two levels of project risks: individual and overall project risks.

determine which risks will have the greatest impact on a project. One risk, in
particular, has a very high impact, but the team has determined that this risk
should be ranked very low on the project. What statement best describes why
this risk is ranked so low?
A) The probability of the risk occurring is low
B) The project team is not familiar with the risk
C) The risks will take place in the far future of the project
