Which statement describes how the Capability element is used?

The Capability element is defined within the ArchiMate Strategy Layer. It represents an ability or capacity that an organization, person, or system possesses. A capability describes what an enterprise can do, abstracting from how it does it. Capabilities are realized by core elements (e.g., people, processes, and technology) to achieve specific outcomes and goals. This definition directly aligns with the statement that it represents an ability possessed by an active structure element.

A. An asset owned by an organization is the definition of a Resource element, not a Capability.
B. What an enterprise has decided to do is typically represented by a Goal or a Course of Action, which are also motivation or strategy elements but distinct from Capability.
C. The relative worth, utility, or importance of a core element is the definition of the Value element.
