A worked example
Shown solved, with the whole explanation open: this is what every question here carries.
An architecture team reading the Well-Architected Framework asks how a perspective differs from a pillar. What is the difference?
Correct.
Concept
A framework organized only by discipline leaves gaps where one kind of workload touches every discipline at once. A second axis closes that gap without duplicating the first.
Why B
A pillar carries principles and recommendations for one non-functional focus area, while a perspective is a cross-pillar view of recommendations for a specific technology, domain or sector.
