Explanation

A risk checklist built from historical data should contain (C) lessons learned from similar completed projects, which capture what actually went wrong and what worked, and (D) previous project risks that may be relevant, which provide a direct catalog of risk events to check against.

Scope and cost management plans (B) are planning documents, not risk records. Stakeholder analysis metrics (E) are not historical risk data and are not typically part of a risk checklist.
