The five stages of conversation are: opening (greetings and establishing the topic), feedforward (preview of what will be discussed), business (the main part of the conversation), feedback (receiving and giving information on the conversation), and closing (ending the conversation). Option C accurately depicts these stages in order. Option A has feedforward and feedback switched, option B has turn-taking and business switched, and option D includes dialogue, which is not an official stage of conversation.
