Which of the following best describes the class of information known as the Reference Library within the Architecture Repository?

The Architecture Repository is a central store for all architectural artifacts. It is logically partitioned into six classes of information. The Reference Library is the specific class that holds reference materials to assist in the creation of new architectures. This includes items like best practices, industry reference models, reusable patterns, templates, and guidelines. Its purpose is to accelerate development and improve the quality and consistency of architectural work by providing proven, reusable assets.

B. Specifications to which architectures must conform are stored in the Standards Information Base (SIB), another class within the repository.
C. A record of the governance activity across the enterprise is maintained in the Governance Log, a distinct part of the repository.
D. Processes to support governance of the Architecture Repository are part of the Architecture Capability, which defines how the EA function operates.
