Answer: (B)

The test is about the straightforward civil-procedure path to obtain a seizure order for chattel: you begin by filing a complaint that sets out the facts and what you’re seeking (possession and a seizure remedy), then you must serve process on the defendant to notify them of the action, and finally you proceed to a hearing where the court decides whether to grant the order to seize. This sequence protects due process by giving the other side notice and a chance to be heard before any property is taken. Other avenues described involve different remedies or later steps (such as ex parte motions, bonds, temporary relief, or summary judgments) and don’t match the basic three-step path to an order to seize chattel.
