Correct option is B
The correct order of steps in the applied form of problem-solving is (C) Defining the problem, (A) Developing a hypothesis, (D) Testing hypothesis, and (B) Modifying the hypothesis in some cases.
• Defining the problem comes first, as it is essential to understand what issue needs to be addressed.
• Developing a hypothesis follows, providing a possible solution or explanation to the problem.
• Testing the hypothesis is then carried out to see if the hypothesis holds true.
• Modifying the hypothesis is the last step, applied when necessary, if the initial hypothesis does not fully resolve the problem or requires adjustment based on the test results.
