Explanation:

When writing a draft for a business message based on an outline, the first step is typically to create a rough draft. A polished copy (Option A) is for the final stage. A more detailed outline with grammatically correct sentences (Option C) is part of outlining, not drafting. An alternative outline based on his own ideas (Option D) is about revising the outline, not drafting the message. A rough draft (Option B) aligns with the drafting stage where one starts putting the message together in a basic form with short sentences to capture the content before refinement.

Answer:

B. to create a rough draft of the message with short sentences
