Explanation

Risk response strategies must align with the nature and severity of the risk. When the PMO is confused by a strategy entry, it typically means the listed strategy is inappropriate or inconsistent with the risk's impact/probability profile. 'Mitigate' is a proactive strategy that reduces the probability or impact of a risk before it occurs, and is commonly the expected approach for identifiable risks with actionable controls. Changing the owner, name, or status (to an issue) does not directly address the strategic confusion - the PMO's concern is specifically about which response strategy is being employed.
