The image shows a diagram that illustrates the basic concepts of architecture description as defined

by the ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010:2011 standard1, which is also adopted by the TOGAF standard2.

According to the ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010:2011 standard, an architecture description is a work product

used to express an architecture, and it consists of one or more architecture views1.

An architecture view is a representation of a system from the perspective of a related set of

concerns, and it conforms to an architecture viewpoint1.

An architecture viewpoint is a specification of the conventions for constructing and using an

architecture view to address specific stakeholder concerns1.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A, which identifies the items labeled as “A” and “B” in the

image as an architecture viewpoint and an architecture view, respectively. Reference:
