The inputs to the plan risk response process are as follows:
Risk register
Risk management plan

Incorrect Answers:
A: Monitor and Control Risk is the process of implementing risk response plans, tracking identified risks, monitoring residual risk, identifying new risks, and evaluating risk process effectiveness throughout the project. It can involve choosing alternative strategies, executing a contingency or fallback plan, taking corrective action, and modifying the project management plan.

C: Identify Risks is the process of determining which risks may affect the project. It also documents risks' characteristics. The Identify Risks process is part of the Project Risk Management knowledge area. As new risks may evolve or become known as the project progresses through its life cycle, Identify Risks is an iterative process. The process should involve the project team so that they can develop and maintain a sense of ownership and responsibility for the risks and associated risk response actions. Risk Register is the only output of this process.

D: Qualitative analysis is the definition of risk factors in terms of high/medium/low or a numeric scale (1 to 10). Hence it determines the nature of risk on a relative scale.

Some of the qualitative methods of risk analysis are:
Scenario analysis- This is a forward-looking process that can reflect risk for a given point in time.
Risk Control Self -assessment (RCSA) - RCSA is used by enterprises (like banks) for the identification and evaluation of operational risk exposure. It is a logical first step and assumes that business owners and managers are closest to the issues and have the most expertise as to the source of the risk. RCSA is a constructive process in compelling business owners to contemplate, and then explain, the issues at hand with the added benefit of increasing their accountability.

Potential threats and vulnerabilities that could lead to loss events
Determination of the value of an asset at risk
Determination of actors that has potential to generate risk
Determination of threat type

Answer(s): A,B

In practice following steps are involved in risk scenario development: First determine manageable set of scenarios, which include:
Frequently occurring scenarios in the industry or product area.
Scenarios representing threat sources that are increasing in count or severity level. Scenarios involving legal and regulatory requirements applicable to the business.
After determining manageable risk scenarios, perform a validation against the business objectives of the entity.
Based on this validation, refine the selected scenarios and then detail them to a level in line with the criticality of the entity.
Lower down the number of scenarios to a manageable set. Manageable does not signify a fixed number, but should be in line with the overall importance and criticality of the unit.
Risk factors kept in a register so that they can be reevaluated in the next iteration and included for detailed analysis if they have become relevant at that time.
Risk factors kept in a register so that they can be reevaluated in the next iteration and included for detailed analysis if they have become relevant at that time.
Include an unspecified event in the scenarios, that is, address an incident not covered by other scenarios.
