Explanation
When a subject matter expert (SME) interviews stakeholders about identified risks, the primary goal is to assess each risk's probability of occurrence and its potential impact on project objectives - this is the core activity of qualitative risk analysis. Option B (probability and cost) is partially correct but incomplete, as the assessment focuses on impact broadly (schedule, scope, quality), not just cost. Option A (bias) is a consideration for improving interview quality, not the goal of the assessment. Option C (validity) pertains to risk identification, not risk analysis.
