Why each option

Management wants a centralized location to store requirements across all lifecycle states, which describes a requirements repository.

AA change management system

A change management system is used to track and control changes to already-approved requirements, not to store requirements across multiple developmental states.

BA repositoryCorrect

A repository is a centralized storage system that holds requirements artifacts in multiple states simultaneously - under development, under review, and approved. It acts as a single source of truth for all requirements regardless of their current status, allowing the business analyst to manage and retrieve them throughout the project lifecycle.

CA project scope statement

A project scope statement defines the boundaries and deliverables of a project, not a mechanism for storing requirements in various states.

DA requirements register

A requirements register is a list or log of individual requirements with their attributes, but it does not function as a full repository for managing requirements across multiple lifecycle states.
