This choice includes all the key steps in the product design process, starting with idea development and including product screening to narrow down options, preliminary design and testing to see if the product is viable, and finally the creation of a final design. Seeking customer input is also an important step, which is included in this choice. Option B is close, but it misses the step of product screening which is crucial in ensuring that only the most promising ideas are pursued. The other options do not include some of the key steps, such as seeking competitor input or conducting break-even analysis, and therefore are not the best choices.
