Which one of the following does TOGAF state is an objective for Phase A: Architecture Vision?
Phase A: Architecture Vision in TOGAF focuses on establishing the architecture vision that aligns with the business strategy. One of the key objectives of this phase is to validate the business principles, goals, drivers, and key performance indicators. This validation ensures that the architectural vision is built upon a strong and relevant foundation that reflects the business objectives and constraints. Therefore, validating the business principles, goals, drivers, and key performance indicators is a critical step in Phase A.

Admin: remove question. This is not a good question anymore in Togaf 9.2 Answer D: moved to Phase B.
Phase A - "Architecture Vision" Normally, the business principles, business goals, and strategic drivers of the organization are already defined elsewhere in the enterprise. If so, the activity in Phase A is involved with "ensuring that existing definitions are current, and clarifying any areas of ambiguity". Otherwise, it involves defining these essential items for the first time.
"To validate the business principles, goals, drivers and key performance indicators" - This has been moved to Phase-B in TOGAF 9.2. As per TOGAF 9.2, instead of validation, these are refined in Phase-A.
