Answer: D

Explanation:

Based on the ArchiMate 3 documents or objectives, an assessment represents the result of an analysis of the state of affairs of the enterprise with respect to some driver. An assessment may reveal strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, or threats for some area of interest. An assessment is a motivation element that can be associated with other motivation elements such as stakeholders, drivers, goals, outcomes, etc. The notation for an assessment is a rectangle with a rounded top and a horizontal line inside it. The symbol in this question is an assessment that expresses the analysis of ArchiSurance’s situation.
