When using the scientific method, what should be the first step? a.) gathering information on the problem. b.) stating the problem. c.) analyzing and interpreting data.

I believe the answer would be C. Analyzing and interpreting data

because the first step is to make an observation and that answer sounds the closest,

1. Make an observation.

2. Ask a question.

3. Form a hypothesis, or testable explanation.

4. Make a prediction based on the hypothesis.

5. Test the prediction.

I hope this is helpful!

the answer is
