CAPM Practice: Demonstrate an understanding of the various project life cycles and processes

This is a risk because it is an uncertain future event (might not be available) that could have a negative impact on the project. Risks are potential problems that have not yet occurred but could affect objectives.

**Why not B:** A constraint is a fixed limitation already imposed on the project, such as a hard deadline or regulatory requirement. The server availability is uncertain ("might not be available"), making it a potential future event rather than a known limitation.

**Why not C:** An issue is a current problem that is already affecting the project. The database server unavailability has not yet occurred; it is a potential future event. Since the testing is two weeks away, this is still in the realm of uncertainty, not a current problem.

**Why not D:** An assumption would mean the team is accepting something as true for planning purposes. The team is not assuming the server will be unavailable; rather, they are flagging uncertainty about its availability, which is the definition of a risk.
