Explanation

The risk register is the central, living document that captures all identified risks, their probability and impact assessments, assigned owners, chosen response strategies (avoid, mitigate, transfer, accept), trigger conditions, and current status. It forms the project's risk baseline and is continuously updated throughout the project lifecycle. The risk management plan (D) describes the process and methodology but does not contain the actual risk data. A mitigation plan (C) covers only threat responses. A risk action plan with owners (A) is a subset of what the register captures and is not the primary artifact.
