Risk reasseement is best answer from my point of view and it is in domain of PM, whereas Risk audit is done by party out the project team to see the effectiveness of risk management process

I believe the key phrase is: in the future, so it means in order not to repeat the same mistake missing risk triggers of the identified risks, in the risk register, in future projects. So risk audit can only assess the effectiveness of the risk management process at the current project.
My opinion is that the right answer is C

I would go with C, since risk audit will identify the missing intermediate milestones.

I agree with Vincent. The purpose of an audit is to identify problems, not to fix them.

I would go with B, you are the project manager.
Risk audit (C), will reveal that the project manager did not make the full risk management. In some respect the audit was done by you the project manager the question is base on the result!
If all missing intermediate milestones as trigger conditions are not identified, it means either the process is not clear to the team and formats / templates are not developed well.

If one chooses, risk assessment, the same mistake is likely to happen, as it will have new risks, reassessment of current risks, and closing of risks that are outdated.

If one chooses, risk audit, all the short findings in the process will be on the table.

I think Answer C would be the best choice.

Vincent, even if one is PM, and Risk audit reveals where the process to be improved, PM should opt Risk audit.

Considering PMs role in this process if very critical and important and the Tigger conditions are missed, it would be great that Expert do the Risk Audit.

Considering you state "what you should do to handle this in future?", I assume you mean that you wish to learn and apply this to future projects. In that case, C. If as part of C, you undertake a risk assessment based on what actually happened to prove it would have helped the project, I suppose C and B (with C first).
