Why each option
The risk register is the primary output of the Identify Risks process and contains identified risks along with potential responses and other risk details.
The risk register documents identified risks along with their root causes, potential risk responses, risk owners, and other attributes. It is a living document updated as risks are analyzed and responses are planned, serving as the central repository for all risk information throughout the project.
The risk register does not contain updates to the scope baseline - the scope baseline is a separate project document maintained through change control.
The risk management plan is a separate document that describes how risk management activities will be performed - it is an input to risk processes, not a component of the risk register.
Risk-related contract decisions are documented in procurement documents and contracts, not in the risk register.
