Explanation

The root problem is that reserves were consumed without adequate ongoing visibility-the team did not detect the drawdown rate in time to take corrective action. Conducting more frequent reserve watch list status meetings directly addresses this by increasing the cadence of monitoring reserve consumption against remaining risk exposure. Option D (increase reserves) treats the symptom rather than the monitoring process. Option A (Monte Carlo) is a quantitative analysis tool used during planning to size reserves, not to monitor them during execution. Option B (reserve analysis process) is a step in the right direction but is less specific than the proactive monitoring cadence that frequent watch list meetings provide.
