What are the most important steps to take before beginning a biography?
a. seeking permission from the identified subject and writing the first draft
b. creating a timeline of the events in the person's life and summarizing the information
c. identifying the subject and generating questions to guide the research
d. emailing questions to the subject of your biography and interviewing their friends

I believe it's C. If it is a multiple choice (you can never be too careful), then it would be B and C.
