During classic risk assessment, while a Risk is in the Assess state, which action is possible?

• A. Answer the assessment, moving the Risk to Respond
• B. Set the Risk to Monitor
• C. Delete the Risk
• D. Set the Risk back to Draft

Answer: (A)

During the assess stage, the action you take is to complete the assessment by answering its questions. This finalizes the evaluation (including impact and likelihood) and moves the risk into the Respond state, where you plan and implement mitigations. The other options don’t fit this stage: moving to Monitor comes later, after you’ve decided on a response and begun tracking it; deleting the risk isn’t allowed while an assessment is in progress; and reverting back to Draft would undo the work already done in the assessment, which isn’t how this stage transitions.
