Q

Which of the following is INCORRECT when describing Architecture Deliverables?

A - Architecture Deliverables contain Artifacts
B - Artifacts within deliverables may include Catalogs, Matrices and Diagrams
C - An Architecture Definition Document is an architectural deliverable
D - Architecture Deliverables may be composed of more than one artifact
E - Deliverables cannot be used as building blocks

A

E

NOT TRUE: Deliverables can be used as building blocks. See TOGAF 9 chapter 2.5 and Figures 2-1 and 2-2. It is not completely clear whether deliverable can be used as building blocks or not since Figure 2-1 shows architecture deliverables outside of the Re-useable building blocks in the Architecture Repository. However the table on page 461 clearly shows that Architecture Building Blocks and Solution Building Blocks are deliverables, therefore deliverables must be useable as Building Blocks.
