What term represents a quantitative association with disease, such as a previous history?

Risk Factor
Risk Marker
Risk Indicator
Risk Determinant

The correct answer is: Risk Marker

A risk factor is a characteristic or behavior that increases the likelihood of developing a disease. It may not always be quantifiable. A risk indicator is a sign or symptom that can be used to identify the potential for developing a disease, but it is not a clear predictor. A risk determinant is a factor that directly causes the development of a disease. A risk marker, on the other hand, is a measurable indicator that is associated with an increased risk of developing a disease. This term is commonly used in medical research when studying diseases and identifying potential risk factors. Therefore, B is the most accurate choice for the given question.
