Selected Answer: C

C. Review the list of risks to verify that this issue was considered and execute the detailed action plan. In this situation, the project manager should first review the project's risk management plan and the list of identified risks to determine if this specific risk was previously considered. If it was, the project manager should check the detailed action plan associated with this risk. If there are already actions and mitigation strategies in place, the project manager should ensure that these actions are executed and that the issue is being addressed according to the established plan.
