Explanation

Capability-based planning is a business planning technique that concentrates on what outcomes the business needs to achieve, rather than on functional hierarchies or organizational structures. A 'capability' is defined as the ability to achieve a desired effect or business outcome. This approach helps organizations plan transitions by identifying the capabilities needed to meet strategic objectives, and it bridges the gap between strategy and execution. Choices B and C are distractors that wrongly frame it as being about vertical or horizontal capabilities, which are architectural concepts, not the defining characteristic of capability-based planning.
