Answer analysis

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

✓
1. Ensure pip is installed. 2. Run 'pip install package_name'. 3. Verify the installation by importing the package in Python.
Why this is correct
This is the correct order because pip must be available before installing a package, and verification confirms successful installation.
✗
1. Run 'pip install package_name'. 2. Check if pip is installed. 3. Verify the installation.
Why it's wrong here

✗
1. Verify the installation by importing the package. 2. Ensure pip is installed. 3. Run 'pip install package_name'.
Why it's wrong here
This order is illogical because you cannot verify an installation before installing the package.
✗

Why it's wrong here
This order is incorrect because pip handles downloading automatically, and checking pip version is not a verification step.
