Explanation

Organizational process assets (OPAs) are historical knowledge, templates, and databases from the organization's past projects. They are validly used in quantitative risk analysis for: (A) industry/vendor risk databases with historical data, (B) studies of similar projects by risk specialists, and (D) lessons learned and information from prior similar projects. However, option C is not valid - determining the specific cost impacts of risk events in the current project is the actual work performed during the quantitative risk analysis process itself (using tools like Monte Carlo simulation, decision tree analysis, and sensitivity analysis). OPAs inform the process with historical context; they do not directly determine current project risk costs.
