Why each option
Agreements (contracts) contain several major components, and change request handling is one of the key elements that governs how modifications to the contract are processed.
Change request handling is a major component of an agreement because contracts must define the process by which either party can request modifications to the agreed-upon scope, deliverables, or terms. Without this component, the agreement lacks a mechanism for managing inevitable changes during the procurement lifecycle. PMBOK lists change request handling among the standard elements found in formal agreements.
A risk register template is a project management artifact used to track identified risks, not a standard component of a procurement agreement.
A lessons learned register is a project document used to capture knowledge gained during the project, not a contractual component of an agreement.
The procurement management plan guides how procurements will be planned and managed, but it is a project planning document separate from the agreement itself.
