Which of the following statements about risks is most accurate?

• A. Project risks rarely affect product risk.
• B. Product risks rarely affect project risk.
• C. A risk-based approach is more likely to be used to mitigate product rather than project risks.
• D. A risk-based approach is more likely to be used to mitigate project rather than product risks.

Answer: C

Explanation:
In general, project risk and product risk can be hard to differentiate. Anything that impacts on the quality of the delivered system is likely to lead to delays or increased costs as the problem is tackled. Anything causing delays to the project is likely to threaten the delivered system's quality. The risk-based approach is an approach to managing product risk through testing, so it impacts most directly on product risk.
