Why each option

The scenario centers on managing potential scope changes arising from open project issues, which falls under the change management plan as the governing document for how changes are handled.

AChange management planCorrect

The change management plan defines the process for submitting, evaluating, and approving changes to project scope, schedule, and cost. Because Tomas fears that resolving open issues will trigger scope changes, the document governing that process is the change management plan. It ensures changes are controlled rather than ad hoc.

BCommunications management plan

The communications management plan governs how project information is distributed to stakeholders and does not define processes for handling scope changes.

CIssue log

The issue log is a tracking document for recording open issues and their status - it captures the problems but does not govern the change process that may result from resolving them.

DRisk management plan

The risk management plan addresses identifying and responding to potential future threats to the project, not the formal process for managing requested changes.
