Explanation

In PMI's Portfolio Risk Management, recognized risk strategies include: Scenario Analysis (examining possible future events and their impacts), Strategies for both threats and opportunities (avoid, transfer, mitigate, accept for threats; exploit, share, enhance, accept for opportunities), and Response Strategy Selection (choosing appropriate responses). A Fallback Plan is not a standalone risk strategy - it is a contingency measure activated when a primary response plan fails. It is a component within a risk response, not a strategy category itself. Therefore, it does not belong in the list of portfolio risk strategies.
