Why each option

Enterprise environmental factors are not listed as a formal input to the Perform Quantitative Risk Analysis process in the PMBOK Guide; the five inputs are the risk register, risk management plan, cost management plan, schedule management plan, and organizational process assets.

ARisk register

The risk register is a valid input because it contains identified risks, their qualitative ratings, and root causes that feed directly into numerical analysis.

BRisk management plan

The risk management plan is a valid input because it defines the roles, budget, timing, and risk thresholds applied during quantitative analysis.

CCost management plan

The cost management plan is a valid input because it governs how cost contingency reserves are structured and measured, which is directly used in quantitative modeling.

DEnterprise environmental factorsCorrect

The PMBOK Guide specifies exactly five inputs for Perform Quantitative Risk Analysis: risk register, risk management plan, cost management plan, schedule management plan, and organizational process assets. Enterprise environmental factors appear as inputs in many other project management processes but are not included in this specific process's input list.
