Quantitative risk assessments provide numerical estimates of the likelihood and potential impact of identified risks, which can help to prioritize risks and inform decisions on risk response strategies. This information can be presented using a variety of tools, such as risk matrices, heat maps, or probability curves, which can provide executives with a clear and concise overview of the risks facing the organization and their potential impact. In contrast, a qualitative presentation of risk assessment results typically relies on descriptive language or subjective assessments of risk likelihood and impact. While qualitative assessments may be useful in identifying and categorizing risks, they may not provide the same level of detailed information on the specific risks facing the organization or the potential impact of those risks.

A. A quantitative presentation of risk assessment results. The best information to provide executive management for making risk decisions as a result of a risk assessment is "A. A quantitative presentation of risk assessment results." Quantitative information includes numerical data that quantifies the potential impact and likelihood of risks. This type of presentation allows executives to understand the magnitude of risks in concrete terms, making it easier to prioritize and allocate resources effectively. While qualitative presentations (option B) can provide valuable insights, quantitative data provides a more precise and objective basis for decision-making. Comparing risk assessment results to the desired state (option C) and assessing organizational maturity levels (option D) are also important aspects of risk management, but a quantitative presentation of risk assessment results directly addresses the executives' need for actionable information related to risks.
