Explanation

The standard sequence for compiling software from source code is: (1) './configure' - checks the build environment and generates a Makefile, (2) 'make' - compiles the source code, (3) 'make install' - installs the compiled binaries. The './configure' step is the first and most essential step in this workflow, making it the answer. 'wget' (B) is used to download files from the internet, not to build them. 'tar xvzf' (C) extracts a compressed archive and would precede the build process. 'build' (D) is not a standard Linux build command.
