Hi Abhishek,

Risk matrix - used to help risk rank a risk or display risks on a heat map. Typically using impact and likelihood ratings associated.

Risk Register - a repository to collect various risks and their relevant data

Risk report - A report generated for stakeholders with pertinent information depicted / summarized.

Risk Breakdown Chart and Burndown Chart might fit under that risk report.

Beyond our explanation my recommendation is going to PMI documentation (mainly glossary and lexicon) to get the definition on those terms into PMI context. At least, is what I do to get the definition from the organization I follow with all related to project management.
