Why each option

PMI defines exactly four risk response strategies for positive risks (opportunities): Exploit, Share, Enhance, and Accept.

AThree

Three is incorrect; PMI explicitly lists four positive risk response strategies in the PMBOK Guide, not three.

BFourCorrect

The PMBOK Guide identifies four distinct strategies for responding to positive risk events: Exploit (eliminate uncertainty to ensure the opportunity is realized), Share (transfer ownership to a third party best positioned to capture it), Enhance (increase the probability or positive impact), and Accept (be willing to take advantage if it occurs without actively pursuing it). These four strategies mirror the structure of negative risk responses.

CSeven

Seven is not a defined count for positive risk responses; there are four responses for positive risks and four for negative risks, and they are not combined into a single list of seven.

DOne

One is incorrect; PMI provides four separate and distinct strategies for managing opportunities, each with a different level of engagement.
