Explanation

As a risk event's occurrence date draws nearer, the team's ability to assess it accurately depends on having a shared, agreed-upon definition of what probability levels and impact scales mean. Without consistent definitions, different team members will score the same risk differently, leading to inconsistent prioritization. Agreed-upon definitions ensure the qualitative assessment remains comparable across iterations and team members, which is especially critical when time pressure increases and quick, consistent judgments are needed. Iterative analysis (B) is a general good practice but not the factor most enhanced by proximity to the event. High-quality information (C) improves all analysis but is a data quality factor, not a definitional one. Agreed-upon approach (D) is broader and less specific than having agreed-upon scoring definitions.
