In the lifecycle, which stage comes right after data preparation?
Why B is the answer
Model training
Ingestion, preparation, training, deployment, management.
In detail
- Training comes right after data preparation.
- Management continues after deployment.
Use case
An illustrative scenario, not a real incident.
Once data is prepared, a team trains the model, then deploys and manages it.

Key point: Training follows preparation.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Model deployment
- Deployment comes after training.
- C. Model management
- Management comes later.
- D. Data ingestion
- Ingestion comes earlier.
