Explanation

Answer: C - A Risk Budget and a Change Budget are both optional.

Key takeaway: Risk Budgets and Change Budgets exist when it is anticipated that there will be requests for change/off-specifications and/or risks that fall outside of the specified tolerances for risk. It is important not to fund either of these actions by utilising surplus tolerances or with a 'suck it and see' mentality. The procedures are there precisely to prevent that sort of scope creep.
