Explanation
When a risk event actually occurs, it transitions from a potential risk into an active problem - formally called an issue. The correct update is to change the risk's status to 'issue' (C) in the risk register. This signals that the risk is no longer hypothetical and requires immediate action. Setting probability to 100% (A) is technically accurate but not standard practice for a realized risk. Changing the response to 'backups restored' (B) describes a resolution action, not a status update. Reassigning ownership to the PM (D) may or may not be appropriate but is not the standard first update step.
