I practiced a similar question where we had to manage stakeholder expectations, and I think a meeting is usually the most effective way to ensure everyone is aligned.

I feel like updating the risk register is important too, but it seems more like a reactive approach rather than addressing the stakeholder's questions directly.

I think scheduling a meeting could be the best option. It allows for direct communication and might help clear up any misunderstandings.

I remember we discussed the importance of stakeholder engagement in class, but I'm not sure if just sending a link to documents would really address their concerns.
