Explanation
When a new risk is identified, the immediate and mandatory first step is to document it in the risk register. The risk register is the authoritative repository for all project risks - capturing the risk description, probability, impact, and initial details before any analysis, response planning, or change requests occur. You cannot conduct a risk review meeting (C), submit a change request (D), or meaningfully update the issue log (A) for a new risk until it has been formally recorded. Documentation always precedes action in risk management.
