Explanation
A risk burndown chart in Agile is a visualization tool that plots the overall risk exposure of a project over time, showing the aggregate risk profile as iterations progress. It captures both the reduction of known risks and the emergence of new or changing risks - making option D the most accurate description. It is not primarily used for qualitative probability analysis (A), which is done through risk registers or probability/impact matrices. Tracking technical risk reduction specifically (B) is too narrow. Documenting external risks (C) is a risk register function, not a burndown chart.
