B

C
make an observation ® form a hypothesis ® ask a question
D
make an observation ® ask a question ® form a hypothesis

Explanation

A scientific investigation often begins with an observation, which may reveal something worth investigating. Next, the scientist asks a question about what was observed, then forms a hypothesis—a testable possible explanation or prediction. Therefore, the correct order is “make an observation, ask a question, form a hypothesis.”
