Explanation

The first step is to review the change control log to determine whether the unplanned activities were formally approved through the integrated change control process. This provides context before taking any action-the activities may have been legitimately authorized while the risk manager was away. Only after establishing whether proper change control was followed should the risk manager meet with the team (A), escalate to management (B), or assess new risks (C). Skipping the change log review could lead to incorrectly assuming a process violation when none occurred, or missing critical risk context tied to approved changes.
