Explanation

Qualitative Risk Analysis (A) is specifically designed to provide a rapid and cost-effective means for establishing priorities for risk responses. It uses probability and impact assessments (often in a probability-impact matrix) to rank risks subjectively without requiring detailed numerical analysis. Quantitative Analysis (B) is more rigorous and time-consuming, using numerical techniques like Monte Carlo simulation. Historical information (C) is an input to risk processes, not a process itself. Rolling wave planning (D) is a progressive elaboration planning technique, not a risk management process.
