Dividing the task into simple steps and sub-steps allows for a clear and organized presentation of information, making it easier for readers to follow and understand the instructions. Focusing on the product (A) may be helpful in some cases, but can also detract from the clarity of the instructions. Speeding up the rate of information (C) can be overwhelming for readers and lead to confusion. Assuming a highly technical audience (D) may also lead to confusion and frustration for those who may not be well-versed in the technical jargon.
