Explanation

Option A (Issue log) is correct because the team currently lacks the market knowledge needed to make decisions - this is an active problem happening right now, not a potential future risk. An issue log captures problems that have already materialized and are actively impacting the project.

Option B (Risk register) is wrong because risks are uncertain future events that might happen. This gap in knowledge is not hypothetical - it's a confirmed, present obstacle.

Option C (Lessons learned register) is wrong because lessons learned documents are typically updated at phase gates or project closure to capture what the team should do differently going forward, not to track active blockers.

Option D (Change log) is wrong because no change to scope, schedule, or baseline is being requested here - a problem is simply being identified.

Memory tip: Think of it this way - Issues = "It IS happening now" (both start with "Is"). If the problem exists today and blocks progress, it's an issue. If it might happen tomorrow, it's a risk.
