I disagree, D should be considered more often.

B seems a bit too broad for this context, not sure.

Definitely C, likelihood and impact are key!

I thought financial damage and external visibility were more relevant to incident management rather than FMEA. I’m leaning towards option C as well.

I practiced a similar question where we discussed risk factors, and I think likelihood and impact were definitely highlighted as key components.

I'm a bit unsure about this one. I feel like severity and priority are important too, but I can't recall if they are the major factors in FMEA.

I remember that in FMEA, we focus on likelihood and impact when assessing risks. So I think option C might be the right choice.

I feel pretty confident about this one. The major factors in calculating risk priorities using FMEA are definitely likelihood and impact. The other options don't seem to fully capture the core FMEA concepts.

Okay, let me think this through. I know FMEA looks at things like functionality, reliability, and maintainability, so that could be a factor. But I'm pretty sure the main focus here is on likelihood and impact.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. Is severity and priority also a factor, or is that just part of the overall risk analysis process?

This looks like a straightforward FMEA question. I think the key factors are likelihood and impact, which are the major components of risk priority.

Micro-segmentation at the container level sounds like it could be a good fit for this requirement. I'll make sure to read the details on that option carefully.

This seems like a straightforward question. I think the activity network diagram would be the best tool to show the sequential and parallel tasks.

Ah, the old risk analysis trick question. I bet the answer is something like 'All of the above, plus the ability to juggle flaming chainsaws.'

Gotta be C, right? Likelihood and impact are the bread and butter of any risk analysis. Unless the question is trying to catch us out...

D looks juicy, but I'm not sure financial damage and external visibility are the *major* factors. Seems like a trick question.

B seems like it covers a lot of ground, but I'm not sure it's the major factors here. Maybe they're looking for something more specific to risk prioritization.
