What is the development stage for an essay's topic?

Investigation
Brainstorming
Execution
Outlining

The correct answer is: Investigation

The development stage for an essay's topic refers to the process of creating, analyzing, and refining different ideas for the topic. Option A, investigation, is the most appropriate choice as it involves conducting research and gathering information to better understand the chosen topic. Option B, brainstorming, is a step that typically comes before investigation and involves generating and organizing ideas. Option C, execution, is the stage where the writer begins the actual writing process. Option D, outlining, is a step that comes after the investigation stage and involves organizing the gathered information into a structured outline. While all of these stages may be important in the overall process of essay writing, the development stage specifically refers to the initial investigation step.
