Hmm, I was a bit unsure at first, but A is clearly the correct answer. Risk = Likelihood * Impact, simple as that.

That makes sense, multiplying the two factors gives us the overall risk.

Risk is definitely calculated as Likelihood * Impact. Anything else just doesn't make sense.

I'm not sure, but I think it's D) Risk = Threat * Likelihood. Threats play a big role in calculating risk too.
