Why each option

The Communications Management Plan defines who is responsible for sharing information - including risk information - with project stakeholders.

ARisk Management Plan

The Risk Management Plan defines the methodology, roles, and budget for risk activities, but does not specify communication availability for sharing information.

BStakeholder management strategy

The stakeholder management strategy addresses how to engage stakeholders and manage their expectations, not who is available to communicate specific types of project information.

CResource Management Plan

The Resource Management Plan governs how physical and human resources are acquired and managed, not who communicates which information to whom.

DCommunications Management PlanCorrect

The Communications Management Plan specifies what information will be communicated, to whom, at what frequency, and through which channels, making it the plan that directly governs the availability of people to share risk-related information. It assigns communication responsibilities and establishes the reporting structure that controls information flow among all stakeholders. This is distinct from plans that address how risks are managed or how resources are allocated.
