Explanation
The correct term is 'secondary risks' (Choice C). Secondary risks are new risks that emerge directly as a result of implementing a risk response. For example, if you respond to a scheduling risk by adding overtime work, a new secondary risk might be team burnout. This is distinct from 'residual risks,' which are risks that remain after a response is applied. The other choices - reactionary risks, chain risks, and in-flux risks - are not standard project or program management terms defined in PMI frameworks.
