Explanation
Secondary risks are defined as new risks that arise directly as a result of implementing a risk response. For example, if you respond to a schedule risk by adding more resources, a secondary risk might be team conflict due to overcrowding. These must be identified, analyzed, and managed just like any other risk. This concept is distinct from residual risks, which are risks that remain after a response has been applied. 'In flux risks' (A), 'chain risks' (B), and 'reactionary risks' (D) are not recognized project management terminology.
