Explanation

Qualitative risk analysis is correct here because it focuses on subjective, descriptive assessments of risk - evaluating the relative proportion of an effect (how significant a risk is in categorical terms like high/medium/low) and the theoretical response (a scenario-based, hypothetical organizational reaction rather than a measured one).

Since this question presents only one choice, there are no distractors to refute - but the most common confusion is with quantitative risk analysis, which uses actual numerical data, dollar figures, and statistical probabilities rather than theoretical/proportional assessments. Qualitative analysis is used when precise data is unavailable or when a faster, judgment-based prioritization is needed.

Memory tip: Link qualitative to quality descriptions (words: high, medium, low, theoretical) versus quantitative to quantities (numbers, formulas, dollar values). If the question involves language like "proportion," "theoretical," or "subjective judgment," think qualitative.
