CValid but fallacious arguments

DInvalid arguments

Correct answer: (B) Inductive in nature

Explanation

Analogical arguments are inductive in nature.

They move from resemblance in some respects to a probable further resemblance.

The conclusion is only likely, never guaranteed by the premises.

Adding known similarities strengthens the inference without making it certain.

Because the support is probabilistic, such reasoning belongs to induction, not deduction.
