1. Secondary risks
2. Residual risks
3. Triggers
4. Reserve analysis

The correct answer is 1.

Hiring the additional staff is the risk response plan; paying for their training is the new risk created by the response plan. If new staff is not hired, then there will be no additional cost for training.
