Explanation

Risk management is a skill that improves with experience and repetition. The more frequently a project manager practices risk identification, analysis, response planning, and monitoring, the more proficient they become at recognizing patterns, estimating probabilities, and crafting effective responses. It does not automatically become easier at project closure (B), nor does moving into execution eliminate risk complexity (C). While risk management is indeed iterative (D), saying it 'never becomes easier' is incorrect - proficiency grows with practice. The PMBOK and general project management principles support that competency in risk management develops over time through repeated application.
