Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

For EVT, we use the block maxima or the peaks-over-threshold methods. These provide us the data points that can be fitted to a GEV distribution.

Least squares and maximum likelihood are methods that are used for curve fitting, and they have a variety of applications across risk management.

Option D does seem like a strong contender, but we shouldn't rush our evaluation process.
