I'm leaning towards option C. Adding the risk details and analysis to the program risk register seems like a prudent first step before taking any further action.

Hmm, I'm torn between options B and D. Communicating the risk to all project managers makes sense, but I also think brainstorming with the project manager to develop a response is important.

I agree. The question is focused on how the program manager should respond to a risk that has been escalated from a project manager. We need to consider the information provided about the risk's low impact and probability.

This question seems straightforward, but it's really testing our understanding of risk management at the program level. The key is to identify the appropriate first step the program manager should take.
