Answer − C
Hint − PMBOK 5, Page 339 Decision tree analysis
(9) The total amount of risk that is calculated for a project is found by
Multiplying the sum of each the risk times the amount at stake
Calculating the cumulative sum of the probability for each risk and multiplying this value times the consequence of occurrence of the risk events
Cannot be calculated since all risks are not known
