Selected Answer: A

The correct answer is A. Mitigate. Mitigation is a risk management approach that involves taking steps to reduce the likelihood or impact of a risk. In this case, the project manager is mitigating the risk of the project being delayed by buying the item from another vendor. This will increase the cost of the project, but it will also reduce the likelihood that the project will be delayed.
