A project manager has an opportunity to add a highly skilled expert to the team who can increase the probability of the project's success. Which of the following risk strategies should the project…

Exploitation is a positive risk response strategy that aims to ensure the opportunity definitely occurs by actively securing the resource, action, or condition that creates the benefit. In this scenario, the project manager would take deliberate steps to bring the expert onto the team rather than leaving it to chance. This contrasts with sharing or enhancing strategies and is appropriate when the opportunity has a clear, direct path to realization.

Avoidance is a negative risk response strategy used to eliminate a threat, not a strategy for capitalizing on a positive risk opportunity.

Acceptance acknowledges a risk without taking action - it does not actively pursue or secure an opportunity like adding a skilled expert.

Mitigation is a negative risk response strategy that reduces the probability or impact of a threat and does not apply to positive risks.
