When modeling operational loss frequency distribution (which, for example, may be based upon a Poisson distribution) and a loss severity distribution (for example, based upon a lognormal distribution), it is assumed that the frequency of losses and the severity of the losses are completely independent and do not impact each other. Therefore Choice 'a' is correct, and the others are not validassumptions underlying the operational loss modeling.
Once each of these distributions has been built, a random number is drawn from each to determine a loss scenario. The process is repeated many times as part of a Monte Carlo simulation to get a the lossdistribution.
