Answer should be "Phase B", in "Phase A" we identify and define/refined statement. But don't do validation., I think in "Phase B" we validate. Refer to Phase B and Phase A Outputs
I agree. In "https://pubs.opengroup.org/architecture/togaf9-doc/arch/chap07.html", it's defined under 7.4 Outputs section:
"The outputs of Phase B may include, but are not restricted to:......Validated business principles, business goals, and business drivers "
Actually it's Phase A - "The objectives of Phase A are:
...To validate the business principles, business goals, and strategic business drivers of the organization and the enterprise architecture Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)"
https://pubs.opengroup.org/architecture/togaf90-doc/arch/chap07.html
Phase-B is the correct answer. None of the objectives of Phase-A in TOGAF 9.2 has this point. The point you have mentioned has been corrected in TOGAF 9.2. Check the objectives of Phase-A of TOGAF 9.2 at https://pubs.opengroup.org/architecture/togaf9-doc/arch/
Correct answer: B - Phase A
To validate the business principles, business goals, and strategic business drivers of the organization
OR
Phase A identifies the stakeholders and their concerns and requirements, and confirms business goals, drivers and constraints from the Preliminary Phase.

B - Normally, the business principles, business goals, and strategic drivers of the organization are already defined elsewhere in the enterprise. If so, the activity in Phase A is involved with ensuring that existing definitions are current, and clarifying any areas of ambiguity. Otherwise, it involves defining these essential items for the first time.
The steps in Phase A are as follows:
• 6.3.1 Establish the Architecture Project
• 6.3.2 Identify Stakeholders, Concerns, and Business Requirements
• 6.3.3 Confirm and Elaborate Business Goals, Business Drivers, and Constraints
• 6.3.4 Evaluate Capabilities
• 6.3.5 Assess Readiness for Business Transformation
• 6.3.6 Define Scope
• 6.3.7 Confirm and Elaborate Architecture Principles, including Business Principles
• 6.3.8 Develop Architecture Vision
• 6.3.9 Define the Target Architecture Value Propositions and KPIs
• 6.3.10 Identify the Business Transformation Risks and Mitigation Activities
6.3.11 Develop Statement of Architecture Work; Secure Approval
To validate the business principles, business goals, and strategic business drivers of the organization and the enterprise architecture Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
https://pubs.opengroup.org/architecture/togaf92-doc/arch/chap07.html#tag_07_02_02
Phase B inputs
Business principles, business goals, and business drivers
https://pubs.opengroup.org/architecture/togaf92-doc/arch/chap07.html#tag_07_04
Phase B outputs include
Refined and updated versions of the Architecture Vision phase deliverables, where applicable, including:
* Validated business principles, business goals, and business drivers, updated if necessary
Phase A does not validate, however, refine.
Architecture Vision
Outputs
Approved Statement of Architecture Work
=> Refined statements of business principles, business goals, and business drivers
Phase B: Business Architecture
Outputs
Statement of Architecture Work, updated if necessary
=> Validated business principles, business goals, and business drivers
Refined and updated Architecture Principles, if applicable
Answer is B

6.3.3 Confirm and Elaborate Business Goals, Business Drivers, and Constraints
Identify the business goals and strategic drivers of the organization.
If these have already been defined elsewhere within the enterprise, ensure that the existing definitions are current, and clarify any areas of ambiguity. Otherwise, go back to the originators of the Statement of Architecture Work and work with them to define these essential items and secure their endorsement by corporate management.
Define the constraints that must be dealt with, including enterprise-wide constraints and project-specific constraints (time, schedule, resources, etc.).
