Why each option

A status report consolidates project health information including percent complete, schedule progress, and budget - making it the primary reference when no handover meeting occurred.

AProject schedule

A project schedule shows task timelines and dependencies but does not include budget constraints or a rolled-up percent completion summary.

BBalanced scorecard

A balanced scorecard is a strategic performance management framework used at the organizational level, not a project-level document tracking schedule or budget progress.

CIssue log

An issue log records problems and risks that arise during the project but does not contain schedule progress or budget status information.

DStatus reportCorrect

A status report is a comprehensive project document that captures percent of completion, schedule progress, and budget constraints in a single snapshot. It is specifically designed to communicate overall project performance to stakeholders and is the standard artifact a new project manager would consult to quickly understand current project standing. Unlike other documents, it aggregates the exact three data points referenced in the question.
