You are the project manager for your company and a new change request has been approved for your project.
This change request, however, has introduced several new risks to the project.
You have communicated these risk events and the project stakeholders understand the possible effects these risks could have on your project.

A. B. C. D.A.
As the project manager, you have identified new risks to the project due to a change request. It's essential to create a mitigation response plan to address these risks.
To record the mitigation response plan, you need to refer to the Risk Management Plan and update the Risk Register.
The Risk Management Plan outlines the approach, roles, responsibilities, and methodology for risk management in the project. It defines how risk management will be conducted, monitored, and controlled throughout the project. The plan includes procedures for identifying risks, assessing their likelihood and impact, prioritizing risks, and developing appropriate responses.
The Risk Register is a document that identifies, assesses, and tracks all the known risks in the project. It contains information such as the risk description, risk category, probability of occurrence, impact on project objectives, risk score, risk owner, and risk response plan.
When you have identified a risk event, you evaluate its potential impact on the project's objectives and create a mitigation response plan. The mitigation response plan describes the actions that will be taken to reduce the probability of the risk occurring or minimize its impact on the project if it does occur.
Therefore, the correct answer is A. Risk register, as it is the document that tracks and maintains information about all identified risks, including their likelihood and impact and the corresponding mitigation response plan. The Risk Management Plan is a broader document that outlines how risk management will be conducted, while the Risk Register is the specific document that records the details of each identified risk and its corresponding response plan. The Project Management Plan is a high-level document that outlines the project's scope, objectives, deliverables, timelines, resources, and other essential project details. It doesn't specifically address risk management.
