Gathering empirical evidence of women's preferences would involve conducting research and collecting data through surveys, experiments, or observations to test Dr. Jones' hypothesis. This would be the next step in the scientific process to determine if there is a correlation between pet ownership (dog or cat) and mate selection for women. A literature review (A) could be helpful in supporting the hypothesis, but it is not the next step. Formulating a hypothesis (B) is already done in this case. Publishing an opinion article (D) is not a scientific process and would not provide any empirical evidence.
