• D. Tailor the ADM in conjunction with another architecture framework that has deliverables specific to the vertical sector
• E. Tailor the ADM to reflect the relationships with, and dependencies on other management processes within the organization

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer, B, emphasizes the importance of establishing a clear Architecture Vision before developing a detailed Business Architecture, helping to clarify the value of architecture to the business. The other options either suggest completing elements in a less effective order or adapting the ADM in ways that do not directly address the recognition of architecture's business case.
