Gap Analysis is a technique used in Phases B, C, D and E. Which one of the following statements best describes the gap analysis technique?
The correct answer is C. It highlights services that are yet to be developed. Gap Analysis is a technique used across multiple TOGAF ADM phases to compare baseline and target architectures, highlighting services or components that need to be developed or acquired to bridge the identified discrepancies.

Why each option
Gap Analysis is a technique used across multiple TOGAF ADM phases to compare baseline and target architectures, highlighting services or components that need to be developed or acquired to bridge the identified discrepancies.
Highlighting areas of stakeholder concern is more related to stakeholder management and addressing their perspectives, rather than the technical comparison of architectures.
Highlighting the impacts of change is part of risk or impact analysis, which is distinct from identifying missing architectural components.
Gap analysis in TOGAF involves comparing the Baseline Architecture (current state) with the Target Architecture (desired future state) to identify significant differences, or "gaps." These gaps represent services, functions, or components that are missing or deficient in the baseline and need to be developed, acquired, or modified to achieve the target state.
Highlighting services that are available describes the existing baseline, but gap analysis focuses on what is not available or needs improvement.
Highlighting different viewpoints relates to stakeholder management or architecture viewpoints, not the direct comparison of architecture states.
