1. A data provenance ledger that traces each dataset to its original externally licensed source.

   Plausible but wrong: a provenance ledger supports data lineage (III.B.2), not likelihood-versus-severity risk ranking.
2. A probability and severity harms matrix that ranks risks by likelihood against impact. ✓

   Correct because III.A.4 names a probability/severity harms matrix as a tool to identify and manage design-and-build risks.
3. A model card that summarizes intended use, performance limits, and evaluations.

   Almost right because a model card documents risk-relevant facts, but it is a release artifact, not a prioritization tool.
4. A vendor licensing summary that lists usage rights and indemnification terms.

   Plausible but wrong: a licensing summary is a procurement artifact and does not rank harms by likelihood and impact.

How to remember it

A probability and severity harms matrix ranks risks by how likely and how serious each harm is.
