B) comparing the operational risk capital charge against the LDA Association Capital Index (LDAACI).
 
C) comparing the LDA model outputs against adverse extreme, but realistic, scenarios.

5、With respect to quantifying operation risk under the Basel II Accord, the loss distribution approach (LDA):

A) is currently disallowed, but its use is under review.
 
B) is the only recommended approach.

The correct answer is D

The Basel II Accord allows several approaches to the quantification of operation risk, and many see the loss distribution approach (LDA) as the natural way to meet the soundness standards for economic and regulatory capital by explicitly modeling the operation risk loss distribution of the bank over a one-year period.
