Explanation

During risk planning, each identified risk is assigned a risk owner - the individual responsible for monitoring that risk and executing the preplanned response if it materializes. Assigning risk ownership ensures accountability and clear escalation paths. The project manager (Choice A) oversees the overall risk management process but does not personally execute every response. Subject matter experts (Choice C) may provide input but are not the designated responders unless assigned as risk owners. The project sponsor (Choice D) is involved in high-level decisions, not day-to-day risk response execution.
