Why each option
A project charter requires a draft work breakdown structure (WBS) to outline the high-level decomposition of project scope and deliverables.
Business information is not a recognized standard section in a project charter; the project description already captures the necessary context.
A full risk assessment is too detailed for a project charter - the document appropriately contains only a high-level risk review at this stage, with detailed assessment occurring later in planning.
The project charter should include a draft WBS to provide a high-level structural decomposition of deliverables and work packages. All other standard charter components - timeline, milestones, budget, resources, and a high-level risk review - are already present, making the draft WBS the clear missing element that completes the document.
Full resource requirements are too granular for a charter - the document already lists draft resources required, which is the correct level of detail for this early-stage document.
