I thought assessing relative risk was part of the process, but I’m confused if it comes before or after calculating risk. Could it be D?

I’m not entirely sure, but I feel like we should calculate risks to assets in their current setting first, which might point to B.

I remember practicing a question where we had to determine asset values first, so I’m leaning towards C being necessary.

Okay, that makes sense. So it seems like option B, "Calculating the risks to which assets are exposed in their current setting," is the right answer here.

I'm pretty sure collision attacks have something to do with finding two different inputs that produce the same hash value, but I'm not totally confident in the details.

Liability is definitely something that would be covered in an IaaS contract, so I don't think that's the right answer. I'm going to go with B.

If only there was a 'None of the above' option. That would be my pick for this one, just to mess with the test-makers.

Option B sounds like the most logical choice to me. You need to know the current exposure of your assets before you can calculate the risk.
