which of the following is the best answer?

Scenario Please read this scenario prior to answering the Question You are serving as the
Lead Architect for an insurance company, which has been formed through the merger of
three previously independent companies. The company now consists of three divisions with
the same names and division headquarters as their predecessors. The lack of integration
between the three divisions has increasingly caused problems in the handling of customer
and financial information. The inability to share information has resulted in lost opportunities
to leverage the synergies that should have been possible as a result of the merger. At
present, each division maintains its own applications. Despite an earlier initiative to install a
common application to manage customer, products, and claims information, each division
has different ways of defining these core elements and has customized the common
application to the point where the ability to exchange information is difficult, costly, and
error-prone. As a result, the company has made the decision to introduce a common web
portal, contact center software suite, and document management system. Also the company
has selected a single enterprise-wide customer relationship management (CRM) application
to consolidate information from several applications that exist across the divisions. The
application will be used by each of the divisions and accessed by third party partners
through well defined interfaces. The Corporate Board is concerned that the new application
must be able to manage and safeguard confidential customer information in a secure
manner that meets or exceeds the legal requirements of the countries in which the company
operates. This will be an increasingly important capability as the company expands its
online services in cooperation with its partners. The CIO has formed an Enterprise
Architecture department, and one of the primary goals in its charter is to coordinate efforts
between the implementation team and the migration teams in each division. The CIO has
also formed a cross-functional Architecture Board to oversee and govern the architecture.
The company has an existing team of security architects. TOGAF 9 has been selected as
the core framework for use for the Enterprise Architecture program. The CIO has endorsed
this choice with the full support of top management. Refer to the Scenario [Note: You may
need to refer to Chapter 35 of the reference text in order to answer this question.] You have

been asked to identify the most appropriate catalogs, matrices, and diagrams to support the
next iteration of Architecture development. Based on TOGAF, which of the following is the
