Explanation

Rotating the responsibility for risk assessment among the program components (A) is a team development strategy that builds program-wide risk awareness, prevents knowledge silos, and ensures all project managers understand and share ownership of risk across the program. This approach also creates redundancy so no single component holds exclusive risk expertise. Coaching PMs to manage project resources (B), cross-training for shared expertise (C), and preparing PMs for larger roles (D) are all valid team development activities, but they do not specifically align with the described scenario of assigning PMs across components while actively developing the team with a focus on collective program health and integrated risk management.
