Why each option

The requirements management plan specifically defines how requirements will be managed throughout the project, including the process for prioritization.

ARisk management plan

The risk management plan focuses on identifying, analyzing, and responding to project risks - it does not govern requirements prioritization.

BProject management plan

The project management plan is the overarching document integrating all subsidiary plans, but specific guidance for requirements prioritization comes from the requirements management plan within it.

CRequirements management planCorrect

The requirements management plan outlines the processes, tools, and techniques used to manage requirements, including how requirements will be prioritized. It serves as the governing document for all requirements-related activities, making it the direct guide for prioritization efforts. This plan is a subsidiary component of the overall project management plan.

DScope management plan

The scope management plan defines how scope will be defined, validated, and controlled, but does not specifically address how individual requirements should be prioritized.
