A) Severity: 50, Likelihood: 100, Detection Difficulty: 50
B) Severity: 100, Likelihood: 2, Detection Difficulty: 1
C) Severity: 50, Likelihood: 2, Detection Difficulty: 10
D) Severity: 199, Likelihood: 1, Detection Difficulty: 0
E) Severity: 5, Likelihood: 5, Detection Difficulty: 8
F) B and E both are possible
G) A and D are both possible

The Risk Priority Number (RPN) is calculated by multiplying the scores of severity, likelihood, and detection difficulty. Both options B (100 * 2 * 1 = 200) and E (5 * 5 * 8 = 200) result in an RPN of 200.
