Please read this scenario prior to answering the question
You are employed as an Enterprise Architect in a team at a large company. The company sells luxury food and drinks in more than 10,000 stores worldwide. The company is a leader in using technology to connect with its customers. This includes online ordering, mobile apps, and rewards programs. The company is also famous for bringing new ideas to the market, like ordering through apps, using Al to suggest personalized options, self-service pickup stations, and changing prices based on demand.
The stores are open every day. They send timely sales data to a central system that manages inventory. This system can predict what products are needed, adjust how much stock there is, and order more stock automatically. The stores and the main inventory system work directly with the mobile apps, allowing orders to be made online. The central inventory system is located at the company ' s main data center.
The company will merge with a major competitor. This competitor has a synergistic business. Leaders from both companies have told shareholders that the merger will happen fast. There will be minimal impact for customers. All stores will keep the current brand names. They will combine their systems, choosing the best ones to use.
This means their store management and back-office systems will become one. They will stop using duplicate systems and use one main system to manage the stores.
They will also cut down on the number of back-office applications they use.
The Request for Architecture Work to oversee the merger has been approved.
Stakeholders, concerns, and business requirements have been identified. The stakeholders have made it clear that they expect to continue to be able to innovate quickly, and that changes should not restrict that capability. The scope of what is inside and what is outside the architecture efforts has been confirmed. The next step is to revisit and review the Architecture Principles, as they form part of the constraints on architecture work.
Business Continuity is essential given that the business depends on real-time ordering and automated inventory management. During the systems integration, maintaining service for customers and inventory operations must be prioritized Refer to the scenario You have been asked to identify the most relevant Architecture Principles for the merger besides Business Continuity.
Based on the TOGAF standard, which of the following is the best answer?
[Note: You should assume that the company follows the example set of Architecture Principles provided in the TOGAF standard, ADM Techniques, Architecture Principles chapter.]

• A. Service orientation will speed up the merger and make it easier to integratesystems while maintaining business operations. Maximize Benefit to theEnterprise will make sure that merger decisions prioritize the overall benefit tothe combined company. Common Use Applications across the mergedcompany is preferred over the use of similar or duplicative applications forcertain parts of the company. This help supports the goal of merging back-office systems to reduce duplication.
• B. Primacy of Principles will make sure that the same principles apply to bothorganizations of the newly merged operation, creating consistency acrosslocations. Data as an Asset is critical. Since you ' re maintaining separate mobileapps but consolidating back-end systems, treating data as an asset becomesessential. This principle helps ensure that customer data, and inventoryinformation from both brands are properly integrated and managed.Technology Independence is important when consolidating the back-officeapplications and order processing systems.
• C. Compliance with the Law makes sure that all company activities comply withrelevant laws and regulations. This principle provides the foundation forensuring the merger meets all legal requirements.
  Requirements-BasedChange will make sure that when combining systems, changes to applicationsand technology are only made if required by business needs. ResponsiveChange Management focuses on the speed needed to achieve the goals setby the leaders for a quick merger. We are committed to quickly blending thecompanies as planned.
• D. Control Technical Diversity will help by standardizing technology platforms aspart of the integration process. This will be vital for standardizing the appintegration for digital orders with the back-office systems, and will reducecomplexity and costs during integration. Data Trustee will establish owners tomanage the shared data across the company, thereby assuring data quality.Ease-of-Use is needed to make sure that new user interfaces for the appscontinue to be easy to use.
