I would go for option B and analyze the risk. 

Because according to the ISO31000 risk management guidelines the risk analysis process includes both A and C options and will pave the way for completion of option D

I would first analyze the risk. And then get into meeting with the team to discuss on the impact and probability. Once the risk is found relevant, the Risk Register will be updated.

Ans. Option B is the right choice (Analyse the risk)

a) Discuss the risk with the team to ascertain the impact and probability of the risk

However Creation of a Contingency Plan to deal with the risk should it occur.Taking early steps to reduce the probability of an adverse risk occurring may be more effective and less costly than repairing the damage after a risk has occurred.

However, some risk mitigation options may simply be too costly in time or money to consider.
