Explanation
Secondary risks are new risks that emerge as a direct result of implementing a risk response. The problem identified is that these secondary risks were not being captured. The corrective process improvement is to proactively identify secondary and residual risks as part of developing each risk response plan - not just after the fact. By building this step into the risk planning process (A), the team ensures secondary risks are anticipated and documented before implementation begins. Option D (monitoring) is a later-stage activity; the root fix is earlier in the process during risk response planning.
