Risk Score (the multiplication of Probability and Impact)
A summary of the planned response should the event occur
A summary of the mitigation (the actions taken in advance to reduce the probability and/or impact of the event)
Ranking of risks by Risk Score so as to highlight the highest priority risks to all involved.
It records the initial risks, the potential responses, and tracks the status of each identified risk in the project.

Incorrect Answers:
A: The project scope statement does document initially defined risks but it is not a place that will record risks responses and status of risks.

B: The project charter does not define risks.

C: The risk low-level watch list is for identified risks that have low impact and low probability in the project.
