Why each option
A project risk is defined as a condition or event that might occur and needs monitoring due to its potential impact on project objectives.
A project risk is defined as an uncertain event or condition that, if it occurs, has a positive or negative effect on one or more project objectives, meaning it might occur and therefore needs to be monitored and managed. This proactive approach allows for planning responses before or if the risk materializes.
While some risks might be difficult to avoid, the definition of a risk doesn't inherently imply unavoidability; avoidance is one possible risk response strategy.
Risks, by definition, directly affect the project's objectives if they occur, making this choice incorrect.
This choice describes an issue that has already occurred, not a risk, which is a potential future event.
