Explanation
Risk response planning can introduce new work activities or modify existing ones that were not part of the original plan. For example, a contingency plan may require additional tasks, resources, or time buffers. These additions or omissions directly affect the project scope, which in turn necessitates updates to the cost and schedule baselines to reflect the revised plan. Option D (risk responses take time and money) is partially true but incomplete - the key reason per PMBOK is that new or omitted work changes the baseline, not simply the cost of the response itself.
