Answer: B. D, C, B, A

Correct sequence is D → C → B → A.

Why B is correct: In the deductive research process, the researcher first gathers empirical evidence (D. Data Collection), then derives Findings from the analysis (C), uses those findings to test whether the Hypothesis is confirmed or rejected (B), and finally feeds the result back to Revise the theory (A). This matches the classic hypothetico-deductive cycle: Theory → Hypothesis → Data → Findings → Test of Hypothesis → Theory Revision.

A: A,B,D,C wrongly puts theory revision before data and places data collection after the hypothesis is already confirmed/rejected, which is illogical.
C: A,C,B,D starts with revising theory and ends with data collection, reversing the empirical flow of deduction.
D: B,D,A,C tests the hypothesis before any data is collected, which is impossible in deductive research.

Paper 1 tip: Remember the deductive flow: Data → Findings → Hypothesis tested → Theory revised. Hypothesis testing always comes AFTER data and findings, and theory revision is the LAST step (feedback loop). UGC NET frequently asks sequence questions on Wallace's Wheel of Science and the deductive method.
