Explanation: According to the ArchiMate® 3.2 Specification1, a facility is a physical element that is used to model buildings that have an important role in production processes. A facility represents a physical structure or environment1. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Facility.

Explanation: According to the ArchiMate 3.2 Specification1, a driver represents an external or internal condition that motivates an organization to define its goals and implement the changes necessary to achieve them. Drivers that are associated with a stakeholder are often called “concerns” of that stakeholder. A stakeholder represents the role of an individual, team, or organization (or classes thereof) that represents their interests in the outcome of the architecture. A motivation element is an element that represents the reasons for designing and implementing an architecture, such as stakeholders, drivers, goals, principles, requirements, or value. A motivation element is denoted by a hexagonal shape.
The diagram below shows a motivation element (driver) named Market Share that influences a stakeholder named CMO. The influence relationship is denoted by a dashed line with an open arrowhead.
The influence relationship means that the driver affects the stakeholder’s interests or concerns. Therefore, the best interpretation of the diagram is that the CMO is motivated by the driver Market Share.

Explanation: According to the ArchiMate 3.2 Specification1, a capability is an ability that an active structure element, such as an organization, person, or system, possesses. A requirement is a statement of need that must be realized by a system. Capabilities and requirements are both motivation elements that represent the reasons for designing and implementing an architecture.
The ArchiMate language defines two relationships that are permitted between capabilities and requirements:
Assigned to: This relationship links a requirement to a core element (such as a business actor, a business service, a business process, an application service, an application component, etc.) that is responsible for realizing it. The core element may be assigned to a capability that enables it to realize the requirement.
Realizes: This relationship links a capability to a requirement that is fully or partially realized by that capability.

Explanation: According to the ArchiMate language structure, a concept is either an element or a relationship. An element is either a behavior element, a structure element, a motivation element, or a composite element. A and B in the diagram correspond to these concepts respectively.

Explanation: The diagram uses the ArchiMate notation for a goal element and an aggregation relationship. A goal element represents an end state that a stakeholder intends to achieve. An aggregation relationship indicates that a whole is composed of parts. In this case, the goal ‘Reduce Expense Ratio from 13% to 11%’ is composed of three sub-goals that contribute to its achievement.

Explanation: According to the application layer metamodel, the passive counterpart of the application component is the data object, which represents data structured for automated processing. A data object can be accessed or manipulated by an application component or an application function.

Explanation: Based on the ArchiMate 3 documents or objectives, an assessment represents the result of an analysis of the state of affairs of the enterprise with respect to some driver. An assessment may reveal strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, or threats for some area of interest. An assessment is a motivation element that can be associated with other motivation elements such as stakeholders, drivers, goals, outcomes, etc. The notation for an assessment is a rectangle with a rounded top and a horizontal line inside it. The symbol in this question is an assessment that expresses the analysis of ArchiSurance’s situation.

Explanation: Based on the ArchiMate 3 documents or objectives, an application interface represents a point of access where an application service is made available to a user, another application component, or a node. An application interface specifies how the functionality of a component can be accessed by other elements. The notation for an application interface is a square with a small circle attached to it.

Explanation: The diagram shows a work package, which is a grouping of behavior and/or structure elements that can be assigned to one or more performers. A work package can be used to model a project or a program, and it can contain deliverables, which are outcomes of the work package. The four elements (A, B, C, and D) are all deliverables that are part of the work package.

Explanation: According to the ArchiMate® 3.2 Specification1, a capability represents an ability that an active structure element, such as an organization, person, or system, possesses. Capabilities are typically aimed at achieving some goal or delivering value by realizing an outcome1. Therefore, the correct answer is D. To represent the ability that an active structure element possesses.

Explanation: Based on the ArchiMate 3 documents or objectives, the ArchiMate standard provides a set of entities and relationships for representing Architecture Description. Architecture Description is a work product used to express an architecture for a system-ofinterest. The ArchiMate language is an open and independent modeling language for Enterprise Architecture that is supported by different tool vendors and consulting firms.
