The first step in the Minnesota Model of Public Health Interventions is to consider whether surveillance as an intervention is appropriate to the situation. This involves assessing the need for surveillance based on the health issue, population, and available resources. Once this has been determined, data can then be collected and analyzed, and the impact of the surveillance can be evaluated. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
