Explanation

Risk prioritization is determined by calculating a risk score, typically using the formula: Risk Score = Probability × Impact. The question references a risk matrix or table that was not reproduced in text form. Based on the provided answer, Risk 3 carries the highest combined probability and impact score among the listed risks. In risk management, even a low-probability risk with an extremely high impact (or a high-probability risk with moderate impact) can outrank others. When evaluating risks, project managers must consider both dimensions together, not in isolation, to determine which risk demands the most immediate attention and mitigation planning.
