C. After a question has been identified and observations are made

Explanation - Hypothesis is the first step of scientific research. Hypothesis is a statement given after the question is identified and background research is done. Hypothesis is tested if its true by performing experiments.

Before carrying out the experiment to test the hypothesis, proper planning to do the experiment should be developed. After the experiment, the data is analyzed and results are interpreted. Once the interpretation is done, the results are communicated and verified if the hypothesis stands right or not.
