Complete the sentence. In a gap analysis, a building block that appears in the Target Architecture but does not appear in the Baseline Architecture indicates _____
The correct answer is E. a new function that must be built or procured. A building block present in the target architecture but absent from the baseline architecture signifies a new required capability or function that must be introduced, built, or acquired.

Why each option
A building block present in the target architecture but absent from the baseline architecture signifies a new required capability or function that must be introduced, built, or acquired.
Nonconformant solution building blocks would appear in the Baseline Architecture but not align with the Target Architecture's standards or requirements.
While a missing building block requires attention, it's a finding of the analysis, not necessarily an error in the architecture itself or a reason for re-evaluation, but rather an identified gap to be addressed.
Requirements being properly documented is related to defining the Target Architecture, but a gap specifically points to a missing element, not directly to the documentation process itself.
Functionality that should be eliminated would be present in the Baseline Architecture but absent from the Target Architecture.
In a gap analysis, the presence of a building block in the Target Architecture that is missing from the Baseline Architecture identifies a new capability, service, or component that needs to be implemented. This gap indicates functionality that must be either developed from scratch (built) or obtained from a vendor (procured) to achieve the desired future state.
