Explanation
Finalising a research problem runs from selecting the area of research, studying reference material and previous reports, finding the research gap, identifying a research problem and finally defining it, giving 2, 4, 3, 5, 1.
Selecting the area of research comes first to fix the broad field.
Studying reference material and earlier reports builds background knowledge.
Finding the research gap reveals what remains unexplored.
Identifying the research problem picks the specific issue from that gap.
Defining the research problem states it precisely for investigation.
