Explanation
A facilitator is the most appropriate person to run a risk identification brainstorming session because their role is neutral - they guide the process, manage group dynamics, ensure all participants contribute, and prevent any single voice from dominating. Subject matter experts (B) provide domain knowledge but may have biases toward their own areas. The project manager (C) has a vested interest in the project outcome, which can influence objectivity. The project sponsor (D) holds authority that may inhibit open discussion. A skilled facilitator creates the structured, impartial environment needed for comprehensive risk identification.
