A new system is about to be developed. Which of the following functions has the highest level of risk?

The correct answer is A. Likelihood of failure = 20%; impact value = ?00,000. In (B) the product of probability ?impact has the value ?5,000; in (C) the value is ?,000 and in (D) it is ?,000. The value of ?0,000 in (A) is therefore the highest.
