The correct answer is C.

The first step is researching. The second step is writing. However, when writing a research paper, we are not simply "writing" -- when writing a research paper, a writer must combine several sources. This step is called synthesizing. Synthesizing is the act of meaningfully combining sources into a complete whole.
