Comprehensive and Detailed in Depth

The ArchiMate Core Framework categorizes elements into three primary types:

Active Structure Elements -- Represent entities that perform behavior (e.g., business actors, applications).

Behavior Elements -- Represent functions, processes, or services.

Passive Structure Elements -- Represent objects or information (e.g., data objects, artifacts).

The ArchiMate 3.2 Specification explicitly defines these three primary element types.

I’m torn between A and B; I think I’ve seen both terms used, but I can’t remember which is correct for the top-level structure.

I feel like Application and Business were mentioned in a similar context, but I’m confused about how they fit into the hierarchy.

I remember something about Composite and Motivation from a practice question, but I can’t recall if they were in the same category.

I think the top-level elements might include Behavior and Structure, but I’m not sure about the others.
