Explanation: 1. Choosing a solution and gaining acceptance occurs during the moving stage of change.
Acquiring resources is incorrect because acquiring resources and diagnosing the problem occur
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.
