I'm going with C. Defining the response classification is the foundation, like building a house - you can't start hammering nails until you've got the blueprints.

B) Developing processes that support the response to information security incidents. Sounds like a good idea, but maybe we should figure out the classification first.

I think the key here is to focus on the "first step" part of the question. The logical first step would be to define the response classification, so I'm going with option C.
