Which of the following best describes the need for the ADM process to be governed?

While the ADM helps build an architecture description, governance is about how the method is executed, not primarily the characteristic of the description itself.

Governance ensures the ADM's proper execution, which might *contribute* to developing reference architectures, but it is not the fundamental *need* for ADM governance.

Integration of architecture domains is a goal of the architecture design, which is facilitated by a well-governed ADM, but governance's primary need is broader process adherence.

Governance of the ADM process ensures that the method is applied consistently, correctly, and adheres to organizational standards and policies. This oversight is critical for maintaining the quality, integrity, and effectiveness of the enterprise architecture deliverables.
