Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D. All of P, Q and R

Explanation

Risk monitoring is the tracking activity of the RMMM (Risk Mitigation, Monitoring and Management) plan, and Pressman lists exactly these three primary objectives. The project must watch whether the predicted risks actually materialise (P), confirm that the risk-aversion or mitigation steps are being applied correctly (Q), and gather information that can feed future risk analysis (R) on this and later projects. Monitoring also tries to identify which risk indicators were reliable, which is part of the same data-collection objective. Since all three statements are genuine objectives, the correct answer is All of P, Q and R.
