Why each option
The stakeholder register is not an input to qualitative risk analysis; it belongs to stakeholder management processes, not risk assessment processes.
The risk management plan is a primary input because it defines the methodology, roles, risk categories, and thresholds used during qualitative analysis.
The risk register contains the list of identified risks that are assessed and prioritized during qualitative risk analysis.
Per the PMBOK Guide, inputs to qualitative risk analysis include the risk management plan, project scope statement, risk register, enterprise environmental factors, and organizational process assets. The stakeholder register is used in stakeholder identification and engagement processes and is not required to prioritize risks by probability and impact.
The project scope statement provides context about project boundaries and deliverables, which helps evaluate the potential impact of each identified risk.
