Explanation

The Risk Management Plan is the primary OUTPUT of the Plan Risk Management process - it cannot also be an input to the same process. You cannot plan risk management using a risk management plan that doesn't exist yet. The actual inputs to Plan Risk Management (per PMBOK) include: the Project Management Plan (which contains the scope, schedule, and cost management plans among others), the Project Charter, Stakeholder Register, Enterprise Environmental Factors, and Organizational Process Assets. The project scope statement, schedule management plan, and cost management plan are all valid inputs because they provide context for how risks should be managed.
