Explanation: 1. Choosing a solution and gaining acceptance occurs during the moving stage of change.

during the unfreezing stage. Forming relationships is incorrect because building relationships
occurs during the unfreezing stage. Self-renewal is incorrect because self-renewal and
stabilization occur during the final or refreezing stage of change.
