Why each option
Low-priority risks that do not warrant immediate action are placed on a watchlist so they can be monitored over the course of the project.
A watchlist is the standard PMBOK tool for tracking risks rated low in both probability and impact. These risks do not justify active response planning but should be periodically revisited to detect any change in their rating, ensuring they are not overlooked if conditions change during project execution.
Risk alarm is not a defined term in standard project risk management frameworks.
Observation list is not a recognized PMI term; watchlist is the correct PMBOK terminology.
The risk register captures all identified risks across all priority levels, not specifically those with low probability and impact ratings.
