This question refers to the 5-stage process of hypothesis testing. What is the appropriate order of the stages when generating and testing a hypothesis?

(1) Experimentation is conducted to determine if the predictions are correct.
(2) The hypothesis is accepted or rejected.
(3) Observations are made regarding a natural phenomenon.
(4) The observations lead to a hypothesis that tries to explain the phenomenon. A useful hypothesis is one that is testable because it makes specific predictions.
(5) The data from the experiment is analyzed.
A. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
B. 3, 4, 5, 1, 2
C. 1, 3, 4, 2, 5
D. 3, 4, 1, 5, 2
E. 3, 4, 2, 1, 5


D. 3, 4, 1, 5, 2
