Explanation:

The collection, interpretation, and classification of data are the steps most commonly associated to 'scientific method'. Scientific method involves the identification of problems followed by research that gathers relevant data for the formulation of a hypothesis(based on the gathered data) followed by a systematic experimentation of the hypothesis to justify the claim. Thus, it could be concluded that 'scientific method' collects and interprets data(to formulate a hypothesis) and then classifies the data after testing the given data.
