Answer options

• A. A document that triggers the start of an architecture development cycle
• B. A qualitative view of the solution to communicate the intent of the architect
• C. A quantitative view of the solution to measure the implementation
• D. A record of deviations from the planned architectural approach

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as the Architecture Requirements Specification provides a quantitative assessment of the solution, allowing for measurement of how well the implementation aligns with the requirements. Options A and B refer to different aspects of architecture development and communication, while D focuses on deviations rather than the primary purpose of the specification.
