• DTo determine the validity of each risk event

• A
  91% (30)
• B
  6% (2)
• C
  3% (1)

Explanation

When a subject matter expert conducts expert interviews as part of qualitative risk analysis, the specific goal is to assess the probability and impact of each identified risk event. This is the core activity of qualitative risk analysis - determining how likely a risk is to occur (probability) and how significant its effect would be (impact). Option B (determining bias) is not a goal of risk assessment interviews. Option C is partially correct about probability but substitutes 'impact' with 'cost,' which is too narrow - impact covers schedule, scope, and quality as well. Option D (validity) relates to identifying risks, not analyzing them.
