Why each option

The risk register is the definitive project document for systematically capturing and analyzing information about potential future risks. It details risk probability, impact, and planned responses.

AIssues log

An issues log tracks problems that have already occurred or are currently ongoing, not uncertain future events.

BResponsibility assignment matrix

A responsibility assignment matrix (e.g., RACI) clarifies who is responsible for specific tasks or deliverables, not for capturing risk data.

CRisk registerCorrect

The risk register is the primary document used in project management to record identified risks, including their probability, potential impact, priority, and planned response strategies.

DActivity log

An activity log typically records tasks performed or completed, not the probability and impact of uncertain future events.
