Correct Answer:
A. How decisions are made; B. What decisions need to be made; C. Who is involved in decision-making
Explanation

A governance framework provides the structure for effective and consistent management of the platform. Its core purpose is to define the rules, roles, and processes for decision-making. This includes defining what decisions need to be made (e.g., technical standards, data ownership, release schedules), who is involved in making them (e.g., steering committees, architecture review boards, process owners), and how those decisions are made and enforced (e.g., through policies, review processes, and communication plans). This structure ensures alignment with business goals, manages risk, and maintains platform health and scalability.

Why Incorrect

D. Meeting schedules are an operational artifact of a governance framework, not a foundational component of its definition. The framework defines the purpose of the meetings.
E. "How work gets done" refers to development standards and procedures. While these standards are an output of governance decisions, the framework itself is focused on the decision-making structure.
