TOGAF classifies risk in response to their likely effect and frequency. Which of the following answers does not come from the suggested classification system in TOGAF?

Risks with a Likely frequency and Marginal effect are classified with an impact of Moderate Risk

The Impact of a risk, that is the combination of Effect and Frequency can be classified as ‘High Risk, Moderate Risk and Low Risk’

Frequency can be classified as ‘Frequent, Likely, Occasional, Seldom and Unlikely’

Effect can be classified as ‘Catastrophic, Crucial, Marginal and Negligible’
