Explanation

Enterprise Architecture (EA) is a strategic framework that aligns an organization's business strategy with its IT landscape across four core domains: business, data, application, and technology - making B the defining characteristic. Option A is wrong because business process modeling (e.g., BPMN) is a specific technique, not what EA is as a whole. Option C confuses EA with IT organizational design or IT governance structures, which are narrower concerns. Option D describes IT investment governance frameworks like COBIT or Val IT, not EA itself.

Memory tip: Think of EA as a "four-lens camera" - it simultaneously photographs Business, Data, Application, and Technology. Frameworks like TOGAF and Zachman are built around exactly these four views, so if you see those four words together in an answer, that's your EA answer.
