Why each option
The initiation phase establishes the project's purpose and formal authorization, with the project charter being the key document that grants this authority.
Creating a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is a detailed planning activity performed in the planning phase, not the initiation phase.
Creating a detailed budget is part of the planning phase, where resource costs are estimated and allocated, rather than the initiation phase.
Creating a risk register, which involves identifying and analyzing potential risks, is a key task performed during the planning phase, not the initiation phase.
Creating a project charter document is the primary deliverable of the initiation phase, as it formally authorizes the project, defines its high-level objectives, and assigns the project manager with the authority to apply organizational resources.
