Explanation:
Marginal CVA is the correct approach when a risk manager wants to understand which trades have the greatest impact on a counterparty's CVA because:
Incremental CVA, on the other hand, measures the change in CVA when adding a new trade to an existing portfolio, which is different from analyzing the contribution of existing trades.
Therefore, option B correctly identifies that Marginal CVA enables breaking down netted trades into trade-level contributions to understand their individual impact on the counterparty's CVA.
