The correct answer is the first option, Vespucci.  Amerigo Vespucci was an Italian explorer who studied the work of Ptolemy and, in doing so, found that if Asia was as far east as Columbus had thought it was, it would cover half the Earth. He not only discovered that Asia was in fact smaller than what Columbus had thought it was, but also that the size of the Earth was much bigger than what most people thought it to be.

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

The correct answer would be, Cross-training program.

Each project team member had a back up that could fill in at a moment's notice should another team member fall by the way side. The project was able to mitigate risks in this fashion. Thanks to an aggressive Cross-training program.

Explanation:

A Cross Training Program is basically a program for employees in an organization in which employees are trained to perform tasks that are not in  their own job description.

These training are done to build the skill sets and to ensure the coverage of key job responsibilities.

This approach of cross training is very useful in minimizing the risk as this training equip employees to do tasks that are not their own job but due to such training, they are able to perform the other tasks in emergency situations and thus are highly useful in risk management.

For example if there is a task which is to be completed by an employee in the coming week and the employee falls sick, then because some other employee is trained to do the task, that task won't be suffered an will be done on time by the back up employee.
