Explanation

Deterministic analysis (B) uses data and facts that are known beforehand - inputs produce predictable, repeatable outputs with certainty (e.g., a hash match definitively identifies a file). Probabilistic analysis (E) produces results that are not definitive - it uses statistical models, likelihood scores, and inferences to assign a probability to an outcome rather than a guaranteed answer (e.g., a behavioral analytics engine flagging an anomaly as '85% likely malicious'). Option A reverses the definitions, making it incorrect. Option C is wrong because deterministic analysis is based on known facts, not assumptions. Option D is wrong because it is probabilistic analysis - not deterministic - that produces non-definitive results, making D's claim the opposite of truth.
