Reactive change occurs when:

• A. Proactive planning occurs to avoid threats
• B. Changes in practices after a threat or opportunity has already occurred
• C. Big bang with realignment
• D. Minor process tweaks

Answer: (B)

Reactive change is about adjusting practices after a threat or opportunity has already appeared. When an event occurs and the organization responds by modifying how things are done, that’s reactive. This fits the scenario described because the change follows the occurrence, not in anticipation of it.

Proactive planning, by contrast, happens before threats arise or opportunities show up, aiming to prevent problems or capture advantages in advance. A big bang with realignment describes a sudden, sweeping overhaul rather than a response to an event after it happens. Minor process tweaks are small, incremental adjustments that may not be tied to a specific triggering event.
