The three steps for constructing a simple frequency distribution are finding the real range (difference between the highest and lowest scores), determining the interval width (the range divided by the desired number of intervals), and constructing the frequency distribution by counting the number of scores that fall within each interval. Option A is close but uses "observed" range instead of "real" range, which can be confusing. Option B is incorrect as counting the scores is just one step, not the complete process. Option D includes all options, but C is the most accurate answer.
