The correct answer is B), 'evaluate and analyze'. When investigating something, it is important to first evaluate, or asses, the information you've been given, and then analyze the data, or examine and organize it. Answer choice A is incorrect because to synthesize something is to imitate it and answer choices C and D are incorrect because you should not look at something subjectively, such as when forming an opinion or connecting to a personal experience, when you are investigating it.
Hope this helps!
