It is actually a direct quote from the definition of decision analysis in babok v2. That's the only way this makes sense. This is one of those questions that you would be better off ignoring as far as v3 is concerned.

As per BABOK v3 10.16.1, Decision analysis formally assesses a problem and possible decisions in order to determine the value of alternate outcomes under conditions of uncertainty. As option B assess the potential risks that may impact the solution, hence it is correct.

D is an element of Financial Analysis (BABOK v3 10.20.3.4), not decision analysis.
