D) Expected monetary value analysis, definitely. It's the only option that explicitly mentions 'average outcome' and 'scenarios that may or may not happen.' Sounds like the perfect fit for this question. Now, if only I could predict the lottery numbers as accurately...

I believe it's B) Three-point estimate, as it considers different possibilities for the future outcome.

Hmm, I'm torn between B) Three-point estimate and D) Expected monetary value analysis. Decisions, decisions. Maybe I should just flip a coin and hope for the best. Or maybe I'll just stick with C) Modeling and simulation - it's the most fun option, at least.

D) Expected monetary value analysis? Really? Sounds like a fancy way of saying 'guessing the future based on a crystal ball.' I'll go with C) Modeling and simulation, at least that has a touch of science to it.

I think the correct answer is D) Expected monetary value analysis. It's a statistical concept that takes into account different potential outcomes and their probabilities to calculate the average expected outcome.
