You are a project manager for your organization and you're working with four of your key stakeholders. One of the stakeholders is confused as to why you're not discussing the current problem in the project during the risk identification meeting. Which one of the following statements best addresses when a project risk actually happens?

A. Project risks are uncertain as to when they will happen.

B. Risks can happen at any time in the project.

C. Project risks are always in the future.

D. Risk triggers are warning signs of when the risks will happen.

A: You can identify risks before they occur and not after their occurrence.
B: Risks can only happen in the future.
