Explanation

Assigning risk scores in Workfront serves to quantify and manage potential project risks (C) - it gives project managers a numerical way to assess how much risk a project carries, enabling informed decisions about mitigation strategies and risk monitoring throughout the project lifecycle. Option A is incorrect because profitability is tracked through financial metrics like budgets and costs, not risk scores. Option B is wrong because resource allocation relies on availability, skills, and workload balancing tools - not risk scores. Option D is off because approval workflows are governed by routing rules and approval processes, which are configured separately from risk assessments.

Memory tip: Think of risk scores as a "danger dial" - they don't move money, people, or approvals; they simply measure how risky the road ahead looks so you can plan accordingly.
