10 points

Explanation:

In hypothesis testing, the first step is stating the claims (null and alternative hypotheses). The second step is assessing the evidence (calculating the test - statistic, finding the p - value etc.). Choosing a sample and collecting data is part of the initial planning. Conclusion is the final step after assessing the evidence. So, the second step is assessment of evidence.

B. Assessment of evidence
