Explanation

Identify Risks (B) is the process specifically designed to determine which risks might affect the project - it involves systematically finding, recognizing, and documenting potential risk events and their characteristics.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (Qualitative Risk Analysis) comes after risks are identified; it prioritizes already-known risks by assessing their probability and impact.
• C (Plan Risk Management) defines how risk activities will be conducted (roles, methodology, timing) - it's the planning framework, not the discovery process.
• D (Quantitative Risk Analysis) numerically analyzes the effect of identified risks on project objectives - again, risks must already be known before this step.

Memory tip: Think of the process order as a pipeline - you can't analyze or plan responses to risks you haven't found yet. "Identify" literally means "find them first," so Identify Risks always precedes any analysis process.
