Explanation

Risk assessment must happen early because a Renewals Manager needs to identify which accounts are at risk of churning before taking any action - without knowing the risk level, there's no basis for prioritizing or planning the renewal strategy.

  • B (risk mitigation) is wrong because mitigation is what you do after identifying risks; you can't mitigate what you haven't assessed yet.
  • C (terms negotiation) happens later in the process, once you understand the account's health and have engaged the customer.
  • D (review new opportunities) is an expansion activity (upsell/cross-sell) that comes after securing the renewal itself, not at the start.

Memory tip: Think "assess before act" - the renewal workflow flows from assess risk → mitigate risk → negotiate terms → expand, so assessment is always the first gate.
