Please give me your opinion

You are delivering a brand new product line into your organisation, partly utilising a third party system. You have been working with the functional manager and her team to gather their exper judgement throughout development, when they raise a concern that the third party system is being discontinued and losing support in the next 12 months. What will you do next?

A. Update the Risk Register.

B. Update the Issue Log.

C. Ignore the concern, you can still deliver the product without the system.

D. Escalate the concern to the project sponsor.

I suggest the answer to be (B), but the video I’m watching says it’s (A). A risk is something that may happen but not already happening yet. Whereas an issue is something that has already happened. I’m confused
