Explanation
The scenario highlights that stakeholders are highly engaged and want clear visibility into risks and project progress. With a low risk appetite, managing stakeholder expectations centers on ensuring they receive timely, accurate, and relevant information. Developing a communication plan (D) directly addresses this need by formalizing how, when, and what risk-related information is shared. While options B and C are valid risk management activities, they do not directly address the stakeholder expectation management challenge described. A communication plan is the structured solution for ensuring visibility.
