Arrange the following steps in the correct logical sequence to solve a collision problem using the Law of Conservation of Linear Momentum: 1. Equate the total initial momentum to the total final momentum. 2. Identify the system and ensure no external unbalanced forces act on it. 3. Define a coordinate system and assign positive/negative signs to velocities. 4. Calculate the individual momenta of all objects before and after the collision. Select the correct sequence:

Options:

• A: 2, 4, 3, 1
• B: 2, 3, 4, 1
• C: 3, 2, 4, 1
• D: 4, 2, 3, 1
