Question

Explanation

The sponsor needs two specific outputs: a probable ROI value and a confidence level in that value. Monte Carlo Analysis (B) is the correct tool because it runs thousands of simulations using probability distributions for uncertain variables, producing a range of possible outcomes with associated probabilities - directly providing both the probable ROI and the statistical confidence level. Scenario Analysis (A) compares discrete scenarios but does not produce probabilistic confidence levels. SWOT Analysis (C) is qualitative. What-if Analysis (D) examines specific scenarios but similarly does not generate confidence distributions.
