The management science process starts with observation, followed by problem definition, model construction, model solution, and implementation. This sequence allows for a systematic approach to problem-solving and ensures that the solution is appropriate for the problem identified. Choice A has the correct steps but in the wrong order, while choice C starts with model construction, which is not the first step in the process. Choice D has observation and implementation in the wrong order.
