I’m leaning towards option B since it talks about prioritizing risks, but I’m not confident if that’s the main focus of quantitative analysis.

I feel like option A is close, but it seems more about planning responses rather than the analysis itself.

I think option D sounds familiar because it mentions analyzing the effects on project objectives, which is what we practiced in our last session.

I remember that quantitative risk analysis involves numerical methods, but I'm not entirely sure which option best captures that.

The "logger" command seems like the obvious choice here. I'm pretty confident that's the right answer.

I think I've got it! I'll use the grep command with the -f option to search for the string "seismic" and then use the cat command to output the entire file in the original order, keeping only the lines that match.
