The correct answer is: To develop strategies for risk avoidance and mitigation

A primary goal of risk response planning is to develop strategies for risk avoidance and mitigation. This process involves identifying potential risks that may impact a project or operation and formulating proactive measures to either eliminate those risks or reduce their impact on the objectives. Effective risk response planning ensures that an organization is not only aware of potential adverse events but also ready to implement countermeasures that can lead to successful outcomes even in the face of uncertainties. By focusing on strategies such as risk avoidance—where actions are taken to prevent the risk from occurring—and risk mitigation, which involves reducing the severity or likelihood of a risk event, organizations can effectively safeguard their projects and resources. This proactive approach enhances overall resilience and contributes to more stable supply chain operations.
