The correct answer is: "Discuss a plan".

The identification of a problem comes chronologically before, but is not contained in the three-step process. It is assumed that it happens before, as generally policies are designed for problem-solving.

The steps of the process would be the following three:

  • Formulation and adoption, in which possible plans are discussed.
  • Implementation
  • Evaluation and termination.

In the first stage, the approach to adress a problem is decided. The executive branch, together with the courts and interest groups participate in the decision-making process. Usually contradictory proposals arise, for example, coming from different political groups. It ends up with the definitive adoption of one of the proposals, certified when the Congress passes the corresponding legislation.
