What is a difference from the list below between quantitative and qualitative Risk Assessment?

 Difference Between Quantitative and Qualitative Assessments:

Quantitative Assessment: Provides measurable data, often expressed in monetary terms, to quantify risk impact.

Qualitative Assessment: Uses descriptive categories (e.g., high, medium, low) to assess risk based on subjective judgment.

 Why Option A Is Correct:

Quantitative assessments focus on precise calculations, such as potential financial loss, which is a distinguishing feature.

 Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

B & D: These describe qualitative assessments, not quantitative.

C. Mapping to Business Objectives: Both types can be mapped to objectives; this is not a distinguishing factor.

 References:

EC-Council describes quantitative methods as data-driven and focused on objective metrics, while qualitative methods emphasize subjective risk prioritization.
