The correct answer is A. Probability of achieving time and cost estimates. Qualitative Risk Analysis produces outputs such as prioritized risk lists, grouped risk categories, and watch lists, but does NOT produce the probability of achieving time and cost estimates, which is a Quantitative Risk Analysis output.
Question

- BWatch list of low-priority risks

- DRisks grouped by categories

Why each option
Qualitative Risk Analysis produces outputs such as prioritized risk lists, grouped risk categories, and watch lists, but does NOT produce the probability of achieving time and cost estimates, which is a Quantitative Risk Analysis output.
Probability of achieving specific time and cost estimates is produced through Quantitative Risk Analysis techniques such as Monte Carlo simulation and sensitivity analysis, which generate numerical probability distributions. Qualitative Risk Analysis only ranks and prioritizes risks based on probability and impact using descriptive scales, not statistical projections of schedule or cost outcomes.
A watch list of low-priority risks is a standard output of Qualitative Risk Analysis, used to monitor risks that do not warrant immediate active response.
A priority list of risks ranked by their assessed probability and impact is a core output of Qualitative Risk Analysis.
Grouping risks by category such as technical, external, or organizational is a standard output of Qualitative Risk Analysis that helps identify patterns and root causes.
