Explanation

The change log (also called a change register) is a formal record of all change requests submitted throughout the project, including their status - approved, rejected, deferred, or pending. If this functionality was previously submitted and rejected during planning, that decision would be documented in the change log with a date and rationale. The issue log (A) tracks project issues, not change requests. The scope statement (B) describes what is in scope but does not log the history of rejected changes. The risk report (C) tracks risks, not change decisions. The change log is the definitive document for confirming whether a specific change was previously reviewed and rejected.
