Explanation
Grouping risks by common causes (often reflected in a Risk Breakdown Structure) reveals clusters of related risks that share the same root cause. The primary benefit is that a single, well-designed risk response can address multiple risks simultaneously, making response planning more efficient and effective. While it may also reveal high-risk areas of a project (option C), the PMBOK-aligned primary advantage is enabling the development of effective, consolidated risk responses rather than treating each risk in isolation.
