On a hybrid project you ask a senior team member to perform a quantitative risk analysis, but they say they lack the knowledge. What should you do?

The best approach is to help the team member develop the necessary skills. This aligns with the project manager's role in fostering team growth and capability, which is crucial for overall project success and team morale. Providing coaching, mentoring, and training empowers the team member, builds their confidence, and strengthens the team's collective skill set for future projects. Escalating to the functional manager or performing the task yourself avoids addressing the skill gap and misses an opportunity for team development. Contacting the PMO for a replacement might be a last resort if training is ineffective or time-critical, but it doesn't build internal team capability and can be disruptive.
