Which analyzing technique describe the outcome as well as how likely each outcome is?

The correct answer is C. probabilistic. Probabilistic analysis describes all possible outcomes of a scenario along with the statistical likelihood or probability assigned to each one.

Why each option

Probabilistic analysis describes all possible outcomes of a scenario along with the statistical likelihood or probability assigned to each one.

Adeterministic

Deterministic analysis assumes exactly one defined outcome given a fixed set of inputs, with no probability or uncertainty involved.

Bexploratory

Exploratory analysis is used to discover patterns or generate hypotheses within a dataset and does not assign probabilities to outcomes.

CprobabilisticCorrect

Probabilistic analysis quantifies uncertainty by assigning a probability value to each possible outcome, making it essential for risk assessments and threat modeling. Unlike deterministic methods, it acknowledges that multiple results are possible from a given set of inputs and measures how likely each result is. This approach is foundational in security risk management and predictive analysis.

Ddescriptive

Descriptive analysis summarizes and explains historical data to show what already occurred, not the likelihood of future possible outcomes.
