I'm pretty sure the correct answer is D. Asset Value x Exposure Factor is the formula for Single Loss Expectancy, not any of the other options.

Haha, I bet the exam writer is trying to trick us with these options. They all sound kind of similar, but I'm going with D. It just makes the most sense to me.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused. Isn't option B the right answer? It looks like it's calculating the difference in ALE before and after implementing a safeguard.

Wait, I'm pretty sure it's option A. Single Loss Expectancy is calculated by multiplying the Asset Value and the Annualized Rate of Occurrence.
