Explanation:

To hold a discussion on "Books should be based on reality rather than fantasy", the first step is to research and collect information to form claims. Without forming claims (by researching info), collecting evidence, deciding stance, or sharing claims can't be done. So the correct option is the one about researching and collecting info to form claims.

Answer:

The option "Research and collect information to form claims" (the third option in the list)
