Which of the following statements about TOGAF Building Blocks and their use in the ADM cycle is correct?

The correct answer is A. Building Blocks become more implementation-specific in Phase E. In TOGAF, Building Blocks evolve in specificity as the ADM progresses. Earlier phases (A-D) deal with more abstract architectural building blocks (ABBs), while Phase E (Opportunities and Solutions) is where architecture transitions toward implementation planning.

Explanation

In TOGAF, Building Blocks evolve in specificity as the ADM progresses. Earlier phases (A-D) deal with more abstract architectural building blocks (ABBs), while Phase E (Opportunities and Solutions) is where architecture transitions toward implementation planning. Building Blocks become more implementation-specific in Phase E as solution building blocks (SBBs) are identified and mapped to real products and solutions. They are not first introduced in Phase D (D), nor should they be identified in abstract form only in the Preliminary Phase (C).
