Why each option
The Perform Quantitative Risk Analysis process produces exactly one output: risk register updates, which incorporate the numerical analysis results.
Probability of reaching project objectives is a specific type of information contained within the risk register updates output - it is not a separate standalone output of the process.
PMBOK defines risk register updates as the sole output of Perform Quantitative Risk Analysis. These updates contain the results of probabilistic analysis including probability of achieving objectives, a prioritized list of quantified risks, probability distributions for cost and schedule outcomes, and recommended contingency reserves - all consolidated into the risk register.
Risk responses are developed during the Plan Risk Responses process, which follows quantitative risk analysis in the PMBOK process sequence and is a distinct process with its own outputs.
Risk contingency reserves are calculated values documented as part of the risk register updates - they are findings within that output, not a separate output in their own right.
