Why each option
Monitor and Control Risks is the ongoing project management process that tracks existing risks, identifies new ones, and evaluates the effectiveness of risk responses.
Identify Risks is the process of determining which risks may affect the project and documenting their characteristics - it precedes analysis and response.
Perform Quantitative Risk Analysis numerically analyzes the probability and impact of identified risks but does not involve tracking or response implementation.
Perform Qualitative Risk Analysis prioritizes risks by assessing probability and impact but does not involve monitoring or implementing responses.
Monitor and Control Risks (PMBOK 5th ed. section 11.6) is the process of implementing agreed-upon risk response plans, tracking identified risks, monitoring residual and secondary risks, and evaluating overall risk process effectiveness throughout the project lifecycle. It is an ongoing process that spans the entire project, distinguishing it from the one-time analysis processes. The statement's emphasis on 'throughout the project' and 'tracking' and 'monitoring' directly maps to this process.
