While it is important to ensure that the candidate has a degree in electrical engineering (choice B), the most important step in this scenario would be to check references at the applicant's former places of employment (choice C). This would give the hiring team an idea of the candidate's experience and performance in similar roles. While a criminal background check (choice A) is a good practice, it may not be necessary for this particular role. Therefore, the best choices would be options b and c only (choice E).
