D) Low all the way! Though I do wonder if the exam writers have a sense of humor. "Medium" impact? Really?

Definitely D) Low. I remember learning about FIPS 199 and the impact levels. Low is the one with the least impact.

I remember FIPS 199 discussing different impact levels, but I can’t recall the exact definitions. I hope D) Low is right, but I might second guess myself on the exam.

I’m a bit confused. I thought moderate was also a possibility, but I guess limited effects would fit better with low.

I feel like I’ve seen a question like this before, and I think it was about distinguishing between moderate and low impacts. I’m leaning towards D) Low.

D. Low impact seems like the best answer here. The question is asking about the level with limited adverse effects, and that aligns with the Low impact definition.

I'm confident the answer is D. Low impact. The question is asking about the level with limited adverse effects, which matches the description of the Low impact level in FIPS 199.

Okay, let me think this through. FIPS 199 has three levels, so it's gotta be one of those. Limited adverse effects sounds like the lowest level, so I'm going to go with D. Low.
