What is an effective way of organizing information in an outline for a research paper?

a. assigning random labels to each section of the outline
b. arranging the information as a series of paragraphs
c. dividing the information into various sections noted by numbers or letters
d. using different colors to assign the level of importance to the information
e. listing the information alphabetically under the heading of the paper topic

C should be the answer. A doesn't help you organize information, because it's "random" labeling. B includes paragraphs, which you usually don't construct in an outline bc outlines are brief. for D, it's a research paper and one can assume that all information is fairly relevant and important, plus color coding isn't a typical part of an outline. E says to list it alphabetically but that doesn't help you organize your information either because you don't necessarily want your research papers to be alphabetical, you want them to follow a logical path.

Her taking a guess here..
