Answer options

• A. Application Architecture
• B. Business Architecture
• C. Data Architecture
• D. Technology Architecture

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The Business Architecture domain is essential as it defines the organization's strategy, governance, and key business processes, serving as the foundation for other architecture domains. Addressing Business Architecture first ensures that subsequent architectures align with the overall business goals, making options A, C, and D less effective if prioritized first.
