Explanation

A Change Request is the correct answer. When a defect is discovered during execution, the project manager must formally document the need for repair through a change request - specifically a 'defect repair' type of change request. This is processed through Integrated Change Control before corrective work begins. Risk response (B) deals with proactive or reactive handling of identified risks, not discovered defects. Risk management plan (C) is a planning document, not a process action. Lessons learned (D) is a knowledge management activity, not a corrective action mechanism.
