The potential effects on the organization's mission operations and assets including harm to individuals from loss of confidentiality integrity or availability is the correct option.

This answer is correct because assigning an impact level is about the consequences that a compromise would have on the organization and on people. Impact assessments consider how loss of confidentiality integrity or availability would affect mission operations and organizational assets and whether individuals could suffer harm as a result.

Assessing impact focuses on the value of information and services to the business and to individuals and on the severity of potential adverse outcomes. That is why the effects on mission operations assets and possible harm to people are the primary factors when categorizing a system.

The system hardware age and physical specifications is incorrect because hardware characteristics may influence reliability or maintenance needs but they do not define the organizational or individual consequences used to set impact level.

The Identity and Access Management configuration and role assignments is incorrect because IAM settings are controls and implementation details. They affect risk and mitigation but they do not determine the inherent potential impact if confidentiality integrity or availability are lost.

The ease of integration with other systems and the intuitiveness of the user interface is incorrect because usability and integration concern functionality and user experience. These factors do not directly measure the potential harm to mission operations or to individuals that is required for impact level assignment.
