First Step in report Creation .. :)

I was preparing for Dev 401 .  I got this Questiion . . :-

 

Which is the first step when creating reports? Select the one correct answer.
Select report name
Select object on which report needs to be generated
Select type of report
Select columns to be displayed
Everywhere the answer 'Select object on which report needs to be generated'
But when I click on the New Button . . on Report tab.. It ask me to select the report type.. 
Please help on this . . 
Thanks

The question sounds like the creation of a custom report type than a report.  That would make sense, as custom report types are considered a development feature.

But the question was like this only...  Please confim . ..  the answer mentioned on Most of sites . i,eSelect object on which report needs to be generated  Is Wrong . .  :)

Just because the question and answer are on a certification prep site doesn't mean they are correct.

Select report name
Select object on which report needs to be generated
Select type of report
Select columns to be displayed

 

I would say the Select object on which report needs to be generated . This corresponds to the report type.

Select type of report is not the report type. Its whether its a Tabular, summary, Matrix or Joined report. This selection can be done only after you selected your report type. (Wish they had a better name for report type).
