Why each option

Financial models are crucial for quantitative risk assessment as they provide methods to assign monetary values to risks and their potential impacts.

ARACI matrix

A RACI matrix defines roles and responsibilities, which is useful for risk governance but not directly for quantifying risk.

BFinancial modelsCorrect

Quantitative risk assessment involves assigning numerical values, typically monetary, to risks and their impacts to allow for cost-benefit analysis of mitigation strategies. Financial models, such as Expected Monetary Value (EMV) or Monte Carlo simulations, are directly used to calculate these financial impacts and likelihoods.

CManagement support

Management support is essential for any risk management activity but is not a tool or technique for performing the quantitative assessment itself.

DIndustry benchmarking

Industry benchmarking provides comparative data, which can inform qualitative assessments or the assumptions in quantitative models, but it is not a direct quantitative assessment tool itself.
