TOGAF 9 Combined Part 1 and Part 2 — Question 118

According to TOGAF, which of the following is a characteristic of a Foundation Architecture?

Answer options

• A. It contains only solution building blocks
• B. It contains business functions and processes specific to a particular industry sector
• C. It contains building blocks and their corresponding standards
• 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 Foundation Architecture is focused on providing a set of building blocks and the standards that govern them. Options A and B are incorrect as they do not encompass the broader scope of standards, while D and E describe elements that relate to application architecture and business functions rather than the foundational aspects.
