Correct answer & explanation
✓
Risk register updates
Qualitative risk analysis involves assessing the probability and impact of identified risks, resulting in updates to the risk register (including a list of prioritized risks) and a risk score for each risk. Option B (Risk register updates) and Option D (List of prioritized risks) are typical outputs. Option A (Quantitative risk analysis results) is an output of quantitative risk analysis, which is a separate process. Option C (Risk responses) are developed during the Plan Risk Responses process. Option E (Probability and impact matrix) is a tool used during qualitative risk analysis, not an output.
