c, although I'd extend it to all risks, not just technical ones...

That's my dilemma: C would have been best but limited to technical risks. B seems to be next best option. However, this site stated answer as A. :(

A is definitely not what a risk burndown chart would show so I would chalk that up as a defect...

I would have thought C but it's not just about technical risks so I chose B. Then I searched on the internet and this question has been posted in several places, with the correct answer being B.

Can't be A because a risk burndown chart doesn't show probability does it?

Yes I am pretty confident that A and D are wrong.

Not sure why this site consistently posts incorrect answers...

By looking at the kinds of risks we have identified, you can get a good idea of the risk profile of the organization. Further, the risk burndown chart can show new and changing risks by the flattening of the line (although a flattening doesn't always show a new/changing risk - better to use a burnup chart for that). My issue with selection C is the word "technical".

C.

The chart visually represents the remaining risks and how they are being addressed during the course of the project.
