Explanation

In Agile, risks are typically managed with transparency and minimal ceremony. When a business analyst identifies a new risk, the best first step is to make it visible — such as posting it on the team's risk board or information radiator — and ensure it gets discussed at the next appropriate Agile ceremony (e.g., after the daily standup or in the next sprint review). Calling an immediate all-hands meeting (D) is disruptive and unnecessary for most risks. Escalating directly to senior management (A) skips the team. Emailing only the PM (B) reduces visibility. Answer C balances transparency with Agile ceremony cadence.
