Answer options

• A. It contains only solution building blocks

• D. It includes a model of application components and application services software, including brokering applications
• E. It includes models for common high-level business functions, such as supply chain management

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because a Foundation Architecture is designed to include building blocks and their corresponding standards, which are essential for establishing a robust architecture framework. The other options either focus on specific applications, industry sectors, or high-level functions, which do not align with the broad requirement of a Foundation Architecture.
