Ooh, I like how you're all thinking critically about this. But let's not forget the old saying - 'hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.' I think adding the risk details to the program register is a smart move, just in case it does turn into a bigger issue down the line.

You know, I was leaning towards option D at first. Brainstorming with the project manager could help them come up with a more tailored response. But I think Edison and Melina make a good point - communication is key, especially with a program-wide risk like this.

I agree with Edison. Option B seems like the best move here. The program manager needs to make sure everyone is aware of this risk, even if it's not a major one. That way, they can all work together to monitor it and come up with a plan if it starts to escalate.
