Explanation:

In the research process, many people mistakenly think that only "Locate and document resources" is the research step, ignoring other steps like formulating questions, planning, analyzing, and presenting. The other options represent different stages (topic identification, planning, analysis, presentation) that are part of the full process, but "Locate and document resources" is often misperceived as the sole step.

C. Locate and document resources.
