Explanation
A research proposal outline may include methodology, review of related literature, specifying objectives and stating the problem, so statements 2, 3, 4 and 5 belong.
Data fabrication is research misconduct, not a legitimate stage of a proposal.
Stating the problem defines what the study will investigate.
Review of related literature situates the study among earlier work and locates the gap.
Specifying objectives sets the aims the study will pursue and methodology plans how.
A proposal persuades reviewers that the study is worthwhile and feasible.
