During execution the risk owner monitors a power engine's critical speed to trigger the defined risk-response strategy. During risk assessment it was defined that: 1,600 rpm -> stops working and crashes the system; 1,500 rpm -> warns of max rate allowed; 1,400 rpm -> reduces power and brakes the engine.

Correct answer: 1,600 rpm is a project issue, 1,500 rpm is a project risk, and 1,400 rpm is an event that triggers a response strategy..
Why this is the answer
A project risk is an uncertain event or condition that, if it occurs, has a positive or negative effect on project objectives. 1,500 rpm is a risk because it's an uncertain event (the engine might reach this speed) that has a negative effect (warns of max rate allowed). An event that triggers a response strategy is a predefined condition that, when met, initiates a specific action to manage a risk. 1,400 rpm is this trigger, as it initiates the reduction of power and braking. A project issue is a current problem or concern that needs to be addressed. 1,600 rpm is an issue because it has already occurred, causing the system to stop working and crash. The other options incorrectly categorize these events, confusing risks with issues or triggers.
