Explanation

Qualitative Risk Analysis provides a quick, high-level, and subjective review of identified risks based on their probability of occurrence and their potential impact. It prioritizes risks using scales (e.g., high/medium/low) and tools like a probability-impact matrix, without requiring numerical data or statistical modeling. Quantitative Risk Analysis (B) goes deeper - it assigns numerical values to risks (e.g., EMV, Monte Carlo simulation) and is more time-consuming. Option A (probability-impact matrix) is a tool used within qualitative analysis, not the process itself. Qualitative analysis is always performed before quantitative and serves as the rapid triage of the risk register.
