Explanation: Please note that the question doesn't ask for
the approach that is more financially feasible. Instead, the
question asks you to identify the approach that has the
lower risk.The larger the range of an estimate, the larger

more risky.Approach C has a narrow estimate, which
makes this approach less risky.

11. 5. You are managing a nationwide telecom network deployment project. You learned
that you are unable to start any civil works before obtaining a government agency's
permit, which could take months. The project deadlines are aggressive and you might
face penalties if you don't meet them. Obtaining the government agency's permit
prior to civil works on any site is an example of which of the following?
A. Mandatory Dependency
B. External Dependency
C. Project Constraint
D. Project Requirement
Hint:All of the choices are correct in a way but considering the relationship of the permit to the
civil work will yield only one correct choice.
Sample PMP® Exam Question

12. The correct answer is B
Explanation:The question asked you about the relationship
between civil works and the government agency permit to
perform these works.When we are talking about relationships
between activities we are talking about dependencies between
the tasks. Obtaining the permits will definitely be in your
project's scope of work and will also be a part of your contract.
Therefore, it is considered a mandatory dependency. Similarly,
as you have to fulfil this requirement it is both a project
constraint and a project requirement. Most importantly, as
obtaining the permit and the lead time to do so is beyond your
control, it is an external dependency, which is the best answer
to this question given the scenario.
