Explanation
Organizational Process Assets (OPAs) used as inputs to qualitative risk analysis typically include historical information such as studies of similar projects by risk specialists (A), industry risk databases (B), and information from prior similar projects (D) - all of which help calibrate probability and impact ratings. Reviewing vendor contracts to examine risks in past projects (C) is not a standard OPA input for qualitative risk analysis. Vendor contracts are a procurement artifact and belong to the procurement management domain, not the risk management OPA inputs. The other three options represent legitimate historical knowledge that informs risk probability and impact assessment.
