In the context of TOGAF, a stakeholder is any individual, team, or organization who has interests in, or concerns relative to, the outcome of the architecture. Concerns are those interests which pertain to any aspect of the system’s functioning, development or operation, including considerations such as performance, reliability, and security1. References:

According to the TOGAF Standard, 10th Edition, an architecture contract is “a formal agreement between a service provider and a service consumer that defines the mutual commitments and expectations for the delivery of an architecture” 1. An architecture contract is a governed approach of a particular deliverable that will ensure adherence to the principles, standards, and requirements of the existing or developing architectures, as it specifies the roles, responsibilities, deliverables, quality criteria, and acceptance criteria for the architecture work 1. The other options are not correct, as they are not governed approaches of a particular deliverable, but rather different types of deliverables within the architecture development process. An architecture vision is “a high-level, aspirational view of the target architecture” 1. A statement of architecture work is “a document that defines the scope and approach that will be used to complete an architecture project” 1. An architecture definition document is “a document that describes the baseline and target architectures for one or more domains” 1.

The class of information known as the Reference Library within the Architecture Repository contains guidelines and templates used to create new architectures. The Reference Library provides a set of resources that can be leveraged or customized for specific architecture development purposes. It includes generic building blocks, patterns, models, standards, frameworks, methods, techniques, best practices, etc. Reference: The TOGAF® Standard | The Open Group Website, Section 2.4 Architecture Repository.

In TOGAF’s ADM, the Request for Architecture Work is the deliverable issued by the sponsoring organization (or stakeholder) to formally request that the architecture team perform a full architecture development cycle. That corresponds to your “deliverable 3.” Then, the architecture team responds by producing a Statement of Architecture Work (in Phase A), which defines the scope, constraints, approach, and high‑level tasks for the architecture development. That is your “deliverable 4” (the scope and approach). Thus deliverable 3 is the Request for Architecture Work, and deliverable 4 is generated in Phase A. The Request triggers the cycle; the Statement of Architecture Work (in Phase A) lays down how the architecture work will proceed, including scoping and approach.
