Answer analysis

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

✓
Access the Indexes settings page, then enter the index name and other parameters, then click Save to create the index.
Why this is correct
This is the correct order because you must first navigate to the Indexes settings, then define the index properties, and finally apply the changes.
✗
Enter index parameters first, then access the Indexes settings page, then click Save.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because you cannot specify index parameters before accessing the Indexes settings page; the configuration form is only available after navigating there.
✗
Access the Indexes settings page, then click Save, then enter index parameters.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because saving before entering parameters would create an incomplete or default index, which is not the intended workflow.
✗
Click Save first, then access the Indexes settings page, then enter index parameters.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because you cannot save before accessing the settings or specifying parameters; the Save action is not available until you are on the appropriate form.
