Why each option

The Governance Approach defines decision-making authority and identifies who has approval rights over assets, resources, and changes within an organization.

ASolution Scope

Solution Scope defines the boundaries of what the solution will include or exclude, not who holds approval authority over organizational resources.

BRequirements Architecture

Requirements Architecture describes how requirements relate to and support each other structurally, not the governance or ownership of data assets.

CChange Strategy

Change Strategy outlines how the transition to a new solution will be managed, not who is authorized to grant access to existing data.

DGovernance ApproachCorrect

The Governance Approach establishes the framework for decision-making, including who holds authority to approve or deny access to resources such as databases. It identifies roles, responsibilities, and escalation paths, making it the correct artifact to consult when determining which stakeholder can authorize database access from another department.
