A question from this lesson

- The next step in the task analysis
- The final step in the task analysis
- Any remaining step in the task analysis
Show the answer
A. The next step in the task analysis. The next step follows the first in forward chaining. Starting with the final step describes backward chaining. Choosing any remaining step does not follow the sequential order.
