Explanation
The risk was pre-identified, analyzed, and a response plan was developed and recorded in the risk register. When the risk event (bad weather) actually occurs, the correct action is to execute the planned risk response - that is the entire purpose of proactive risk planning. Client pressure does not override an agreed-upon risk response plan. Waiting for weather to improve (A) may be part of the response, but the key principle is that the team follows the documented plan rather than making an ad hoc decision. Bypassing the plan undermines the risk management process.
