Explanation

The one universally true and required statement about change requests is that they must be documented. Documentation is the foundation of change control - it provides traceability, enables review, supports decision-making, and maintains the integrity of the program's baseline. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because a change request CAN affect the schedule, overall cost, or quality - that is precisely why changes are evaluated through a formal change control process. No rule prohibits a change from impacting these constraints; the change control process exists to assess and manage those impacts, not to prevent them.
