The correct answer is C. Risk register. A risk register formally documents the identified risk of incomplete requirements verification along with its mitigation plan, providing the project board with the governance-level assurance that the concern is being actively managed.

Why each option
A risk register formally documents the identified risk of incomplete requirements verification along with its mitigation plan, providing the project board with the governance-level assurance that the concern is being actively managed.
A data model represents data entities, attributes, and relationships within a system and does not address project governance concerns about the completeness of requirements verification activities.
A use case diagram illustrates functional interactions between actors and a system; it does not provide a mechanism for documenting, tracking, or mitigating the risk of incomplete requirements verification.
A risk register captures identified risks - including the risk that project complexity may prevent full requirements verification - and documents each risk's likelihood, impact, owner, and mitigation strategy. Presenting this artifact to the project board demonstrates that the BA has formally acknowledged the concern, taken ownership of it, and has a structured plan to address it, satisfying the board's need for oversight and accountability.
While a business analysis checklist supports process completeness during execution, it does not formally capture risk ownership, likelihood, impact assessment, or a structured mitigation plan in the way needed to satisfy project board governance concerns.
