Explanation

Risk reassessment is a tool and technique used in Risk Monitoring and Control (B) because this is the ongoing process where you periodically re-examine identified risks, discover new risks, close outdated ones, and verify that risk responses are working - all of which require formally reassessing the risk register throughout the project lifecycle.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (Qualitative Risk Analysis): This process initially assesses risks by probability and impact, but reassessment implies revisiting previously analyzed risks - that's monitoring, not initial analysis.
• C (Monitor and Control Project Work): This is a broader process tracking overall project performance against the plan; risk reassessment isn't listed as one of its specific tools.
• D (Risk Response Planning): This is where you develop response strategies for identified risks - it comes before monitoring, not during the ongoing tracking phase where reassessment occurs.

Memory tip: Think of "reassessment" as having the prefix re- - meaning you're doing it again. That "again" signals a monitoring activity, not a first-time planning or analysis activity. If it's happening repeatedly throughout the project, it belongs in monitoring and control.
