First of all, Golden Rule of doing research: what is your question to research? The problem that the female student had was that she began the whole process by analizing the data she gathered, then proceeding to choose the audience to investigate upon with a specific purpose -(by the way, this step is one of the first ones too: you must include the audience and purpose in the research question.) And another big mistake she made was to write her question based on a source that already was asnwering it. Therefore, this students should change all the process of doing research by stating a clear research question, interesting to know about and then conduct her research, so the correct option is B <em>"She should have written a research question before conducting research."</em>
