Explanation

SOA Governance (C) is the umbrella term for the ongoing administration, maintenance, and evolution of services and service inventories - it encompasses the policies, processes, and oversight needed to manage services throughout their lifecycle.

• A (Federated SOA ownership) is a made-up term; while ownership models exist in SOA, "federated SOA ownership" is not a recognized discipline.
• B (SOA standardization) refers specifically to establishing common standards and conventions - just one component of governance, not the whole picture.
• D (SOA enforcement) describes policing compliance with rules, which is again only a subset of governance, not the broader managing/evolving function.

Memory tip: Think of "governance" like city government - it administers infrastructure, maintains it over time, and evolves it as needs change. SOA governance does the same for services. If you see "administer + maintain + evolve" together, the answer is always governance.
