Why each option

A Risk Breakdown Structure (RBS) is a hierarchical diagram that organizes project risks into categories and subcategories, making it the correct tool for graphically grouping risks by subsets like economic, social, and technical.

ARisk breakdown structureCorrect

The Risk Breakdown Structure is a hierarchical decomposition of risk categories that graphically organizes risks into labeled subsets such as economic, social, and technical risk, providing a visual framework for systematic risk categorization across the project.

BRisk management plan

The Risk Management Plan documents how risk management activities will be conducted but does not graphically group individual risks into categorical subsets.

CRisk register

The Risk Register is a repository that documents identified risks, their descriptions, and responses, but it is not a graphical hierarchical grouping tool.

DRisk control plan

A Risk Control Plan addresses how risks will be monitored and controlled, not how they are categorized or graphically organized.
