Correct answer: D
Concept
A research process moves from defining the inquiry to grounding it in prior work, gathering evidence, interpreting that evidence, and communicating the findings.
Problem identification establishes the scope; the literature review refines the context; data collection, analysis, and reporting then follow in dependency order.
Application
D — Identifying a research problem comes first because it defines the question and scope.
B — Reviewing the literature follows because it establishes what is already known and refines the problem.
A — Collecting the data comes after the problem and review have guided the research design.
E — Analyzing and interpreting the data converts the collected evidence into findings.
C — Reporting the research outcome comes after the findings have been derived.
Cross-check
The dependencies confirm the sequence: analysis requires collected data, and reporting requires analyzed findings.
Therefore the required order is D, B, A, E, C.
