Answer 1

Correct Option is D. Risk Assessment methodology

The first and most important task is assessment i.e. identiying the risk and designing proper methods to do so , then we would have clear cut idea on risk management strategy, so we need to have our risk assessment methodology right in order to have a proper management strategy.

As for other options data classification results there are one of the areas of a potential risks and of course  important component of a  risk profile , we classify the data in public , confidential , sensitive etc so that we would have easier time in locating the data which could save us time and money , but without proper risk assessment methodology we wouldn't be able to identify what's going wrong.
