Explanation

The issue log is the correct document to examine because it records problems, disruptions, and their status - including external events like natural disasters that affect project resources. Examining the issue log would show the hurricane was logged as a disrupting event explaining why resources became unavailable and the schedule slipped. Meeting minutes (A) might contain some relevant discussion but are not structured for root-cause explanations. The project schedule (C) shows the impact (delays) but not the cause. The budget (D) is unrelated to explaining a schedule delay. The issue log (B) directly connects the cause (hurricane) to the schedule impact.
