Explanation

During the Documentation Review technique of risk identification, the primary signal that reveals risks is a lack of consistency between the project plans, requirements, and assumptions. When these elements contradict or are misaligned with each other, it exposes gaps, ambiguities, and potential failure points that represent real project risks. Option B and C describe symptoms of poor documentation, but the root cause that surfaces risks is the inconsistency between the various planning artifacts. Option A is too vague and incomplete as stated.
