The project manager should refer to the risk register and follow the mitigation plan. In this situation, the risk of scope changes impacting the project schedule was identified and documented in the risk register during the initiation phase. The mitigation plan, which should have been developed as part of the risk management process, provides guidance on how to address and mitigate this specific risk. By referring to the risk register and following the mitigation plan, the project manager can take proactive steps to manage the impact of scope changes on the project schedule. If there are adjustments or actions outlined in the mitigation plan, they should be implemented to address the risk and minimize the negative impact on the project timeline.

What changes are done in scope? For this PM need to go to change log to understand the details and document them first. Once scope change details are known and since it was mentioned as risk in risk register, mitigation plan can be followed. So, answer seems to be B.
