C Correct answer
Explanation

Risk analysis fundamentally evaluates two dimensions: likelihood and impact. The probability of a negative event occurring (Option A) must be weighed against the potential loss or damage that would result if it did happen (Option B). This probability-impact matrix forms the basis of all risk assessment frameworks - without knowing both factors, you cannot prioritize risks effectively.
