  • (A), (B), (C), (E), (D)
  • (A), (B), (C), (D), (E)
  • (B), (A), (D), (C), (E)
  • (B), (C), (A), (D), (E)
Show Solution

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: What the question asks.
We have five stages of PBL in a mixed order. We must put them in the right sequence.

Step 2: Pick the first stage.
Nothing can begin without a project, so (B) Identification of a project is first. This removes options 1 and 2, which start with (A).

Step 3: Pick the last stage.
The outcome of a project can only appear when all the work is over. So (E) is last. Options 2, 3 and 4 correctly end with (E).

Step 4: Compare options 3 and 4.
Both start with (B) and end with (E). They differ in the middle: option 3 has (A), (D), (C) and option 4 has (C), (A), (D).

Step 5: Test the middle.
Monitoring (D) means watching the work done as per a plan. So (C) the plan must come before (D). In option 3, (D) comes before (C), which is not logical. Option 4 puts (C) first, then (A) for time, then (D).

Step 6: Conclude.
Only option 4 keeps the plan before the schedule and the guidance before the outcome.

Step 7: Why each wrong option fails.
Options 1 and 2 begin with the time frame, before any project exists. Option 1 also puts monitoring after the outcome, which is impossible. Option 3 puts guidance and monitoring before the plan, so the team would be watching work that has no plan yet. All three break the natural order, so they are wrong.

Final Answer:
The sequence B, C, A, D, E matches option 4. \[ \boxed{4} \]
