Explanation
According to PMI's Standard for Portfolio Management, portfolio risk management follows three high-level steps: (1) Risk Planning - establishing the approach, roles, responsibilities, and thresholds for managing risk; (2) Risk Assessment - identifying and analyzing risks (both qualitatively and quantitatively); and (3) Risk Response - developing and implementing responses to address identified risks. Options A and D include 'Risk Identification' as a separate step, but in the portfolio management framework, identification is incorporated within the assessment phase. Option C incorrectly places Response Planning before Risk Identification and Assessment.
