Why each option
A secondary risk is a new risk that is created or increased as a direct consequence of implementing a response to another identified risk.
A secondary risk specifically refers to a new risk that emerges or an existing risk that intensifies as a result of implementing a mitigation, acceptance, or other response strategy for an initial identified risk event.
Residual risk is the remaining risk after all planned risk responses have been carried out, meaning the initial risk was not completely eliminated.
Positive risk, also known as an opportunity, is an event that, if it occurs, has a beneficial impact on project objectives.
Negative risk, also known as a threat, is an event that, if it occurs, has an adverse impact on project objectives.
