Explanation

The viewpoint/view distinction is fundamental in TOGAF. A viewpoint defines the conventions, techniques, and types of models to be used in constructing a view - it is essentially a template or pattern. A view is the actual artifact produced by applying that template to a specific architecture. Option A is wrong because viewpoints are reusable across architectures (they are generic templates). Option B is wrong because viewpoints are selected and views are created throughout the ADM, not only in Phases E and F. Option D describes a view (what a stakeholder sees), not a viewpoint.
