The correct answer is 1. Gathering information

Explanation:

The decision-making process is a process of around 7 steps that help individuals to analyze a situation that requires a decision and take the best decision possible by analyzing alternatives. In this process, the first step is to identify the situation in which you need to take the decision. This is followed by "gathering information" in which you look for more information to understand the situation and implications of making a decision. After this, there are different stages that involve proposing alternatives, analyzing the alternatives, choosing one of the alternatives, applying the decision and finally evaluating it. Therefore, the second step in this process is gathering information.
