Explanation

A Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM) links each requirement or feature back to its origin - including the stakeholder or business need that requested it - and traces it forward through design, development, and testing. This makes it the correct document to identify who requested a specific item that is causing a regression failure. The issue log (A) records problems encountered but does not map items to their requestors. The risk register (B) tracks identified risks. The defect log (C) records bugs found during testing but does not trace requirements back to their source. The RTM is the authoritative document for requirement origin and coverage.
