Explanation

Enterprise Architecture (EA) governance is primarily concerned with ensuring that new technologies, systems, and processes align and integrate cohesively with the existing enterprise landscape - avoiding fragmentation, redundancy, and incompatibility. This harmonization objective is the core purpose of EA governance. While ROI (D), regulatory compliance (B), and adaptability to emerging trends (A) may be secondary concerns, they are not the defining objective. EA governance enforces architectural standards and principles so that all new initiatives fit consistently within the overall enterprise blueprint.
