Explanation

Statement A is correct: negative risks that are not identified and treated materialize and become issues - meaning they have already occurred or are actively occurring. This is the fundamental relationship between risks and issues in portfolio management. Statement B is incorrect because unaddressed positive risks (opportunities) result in missed opportunities, not issues. Statement C is incorrect because issues are tracked in an Issues Log or Issues Register, not the Risk Register, which is reserved for future uncertain events. Statement D is incorrect because issues are current or past events with present impact, while risks are future uncertain events.
