Which stage of the SARA model involves implementing and testing solutions?

• A. Scanning
• B. Analysis
• C. Response
• D. Assessment

Answer: (C)

Implementing and testing solutions is the Response phase. After identifying a problem and understanding its causes through scanning and analysis, this stage focuses on putting chosen interventions into action in the real world and then evaluating how well they work. It involves selecting targeted tactics, deploying them, collecting data, and adjusting the approach based on what the results show. Scanning is about spotting problems, analysis digs into why they occur, and assessment looks at overall effectiveness after the actions have been tried. So the part that actively implements and tests changes is the Response phase.
