From what I recall, "Get Worksheet as a Collection" should come after opening the workbook, but I can't remember the exact order of the first two steps.

I remember practicing a similar question, and I feel like "Open Workbook" definitely comes after creating the instance.

I think the process starts with creating an instance of Excel, but I'm not entirely sure if "Show Excel" is necessary right after that.

Okay, let me think this through. I believe the key is to first create an instance of Excel, then open the workbook, get the worksheet collection, and finally close the workbook. So I think the answer is C.
