Model building process:
Model building process involves three important steps:
First step is the identification of a problem and then formulation of hypothesis in order to develop a model.
The second step refers to selection of variables necessary to develop a model on the identified problem and eliminate other variables based on simple assumptions.
The third and final step includes collection of data on selected variables, hypothesis or model testing, and finally to draw conclusions.
Second step of model building process includes collection of data and model testing. Hence, the correct option is Model building process:  Model building process involves three important steps: First step is the identification of a problem and then formulation of hypothesis in order to develop a model.  The second step refers to selection of variables necessary to develop a model on the identified problem and eliminate other variables based on simple assumptions.  The third and final step includes collection of data on selected variables, hypothesis or model testing, and finally to draw conclusions. Second step of model building process includes collection of data and model testing. Hence, the correct option is   . Since option 'b' does not include collection of data and model testing step of the model building process, option 'b' is incorrect.  Since option 'c' does not include collection of data and model testing step of the model building process, option 'c' is incorrect.  Since option 'd' does not include collection of data and model testing step of the model building process, option 'd' is incorrect. .
Since option 'b' does not include collection of data and model testing step of the model building process, option 'b' is incorrect.
Since option 'c' does not include collection of data and model testing step of the model building process, option 'c' is incorrect.
Since option 'd' does not include collection of data and model testing step of the model building process, option 'd' is incorrect.
