Explanation

Request Seller Responses (also called Conduct Procurements in PMBOK 5+) is the process in which the project team solicits and receives bids, proposals, or quotations from prospective sellers. The key indicator in this question is that the team is 'receiving proposals' - they have already advertised the work and vendors are now submitting their responses. This is distinct from 'Select Sellers,' which comes next and involves evaluating those received proposals to choose a winner. 'Plan Purchases and Acquisitions' and 'Plan Contracting' are earlier planning-phase processes.
