Yeah Pam is right :D

Correct! The first step in the scientific method is to present a problem or question to investigate. This step is known as "forming a hypothesis" or "identifying a problem." It involves recognizing an observation or discrepancy that needs to be addressed or understood through scientific investigation. This initial step sets the foundation for the rest of the scientific method, which involves designing and conducting experiments, analyzing data, drawing conclusions, and communicating the findings. So, option C (a problem is presented) is the correct answer.
