Analyzing the relationship between microbiome and health → B. Sequencing microbial DNA → A. Characterizing the healthy microbiome → D. Collecting samples from the human body
Understanding the Answer
Let's break down why this is correct
First we collect samples from the body to see what microbes are present. Other options are incorrect because Sequencing cannot happen before samples are taken, so starting with sequencing is impossible; Sequencing before collecting samples is like trying to bake a cake without ingredients.
