Explanation
The risk register is the central document used to record all details about identified risks, including their descriptions, probability, impact, risk owners, and - critically - the planned risk responses such as mitigation strategies. The risk management plan describes the processes and methodologies for how risks will be managed (the framework), not the actual risks themselves. The project management plan is a high-level umbrella document. 'Risk log' is sometimes used informally but 'risk register' is the standard PMI/PMBOK term for where individual risk responses are documented.
