Correct Answer: BD

Risks are potential events that may occur in the future and could have a negative impact on the project, while issues are problems that are currently happening. Option A describes a potential future event where marketing representatives might not be ready after training, which is a risk. Option B describes the possibility of heavy rain causing a delay, which is also a risk. Option C indicates that funding was not approved, meaning it's an existing problem, making it an issue. Option D states that the requirements are unclear, which is a present problem, making it an issue. Therefore, options A and B are both risks.
