D, C, B, A

C, A, D, B

Correct Answer:

D, C, B, A

Explanation:

The correct sequence of the process of impression formation is D, C, B, A.

D. The person who forms the impression is called the perceiver. Individual about whom the impression is formed is called the target.

This step establishes the two key roles involved in impression formation: the perceiver and the target.

C. For impression formation we select some bits of information about the target.

This step involves the perceiver selectively filtering the available information about the target.

B. The selected information is combined in a systematic way.

Once the perceiver has selected the relevant information, they combine it in a way that makes sense to them.

A. On the basis of information collected we draw a conclusion about the kind of person a target is.

This final step involves the perceiver drawing a conclusion about the target's personality or character based on the information they have gathered and combined.
