According to the TOGAF standard, what term describes an individual with an interest in a system?

The TOGAF standard defines a stakeholder as an individual, team, organization, or class thereof, having an interest in, or concerns about, the outcome of the architecture. The process of identifying and understanding stakeholders and their concerns is fundamental to the Architecture Development Method (ADM), particularly in Phase A: Architecture Vision, as their input shapes the architectural requirements and success criteria.

B. A "consumer" is a specific type of stakeholder who uses the system, but the term "stakeholder" is the all-encompassing term for anyone with an interest.
C. A "lead architect" is a specific role and a key stakeholder, but this term does not cover all individuals with an interest, such as business users or sponsors.
D. A "sponsor" is a specific type of stakeholder who provides financial backing and champions the project, but the general term for any interested party is "stakeholder".
