Explanation

A structured, repeatable approach to tracking risk mitigation activities is the best mechanism for managing privacy risk consistently over time. It ensures that identified risks are assigned owners, remediation actions are tracked to completion, and the organization can demonstrate ongoing progress. Inventorying databases (A) is a one-time or periodic task that does not itself drive continuous risk management. Including privacy in the enterprise risk profile (B) is important for visibility but does not guarantee that risks are actively tracked or mitigated. Assigning ownership solely to the legal team (D) is a governance anti-pattern; privacy risk management requires cross-functional participation across IT, operations, and business units.
